Episode notes

We naturally crave certainty—the feeling of complete safety and final answers. But certainty is often a psychological state, not a reflection of reality, and we can feel certain while being wrong. In this episode, Brian explores how waiting for that feeling can hold us back, and how reasonable hope invites us to trust what is true even without absolute certainty.
