Summary
Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to Peter Boghossian, Eric Metaxas, and Rabbi David Wolpe about the place of spirituality, mindfulness, religion, and atheism during a major crisis like the one we are all living through. Is understanding spirituality or a belief in God necessary to get through these dark times? Or can one find meaning and a sense of purpose without theology? Has our society's loss of faith made it harder to find our own individual meaning of life? Can intentional living or building a more spiritual path make these challenging times an easier road to travel? Dave and his guests, representing Judaism, Christianity, and atheism, try to tackle these big questions.
