Episode Synopsis

Jordan Hall is a tech entrepreneur, philosopher, and meta-systemic thinker who, over a year ago, announced that he had converted to Christianity. This conversation was recorded live during Limicon, a digital conference for those in the liminal, metamodern, and game B spaces. In it, we explored Jordan’s early experiences with religion and spirituality, what ultimately drew him to Christianity, and what Christianity might afford that Eastern traditions do not. We touched on discerning divine calling from the egoic mind, confronting fundamentalist forms of Christianity, and the shift from propositional to participatory forms of knowing.We also examined the role religion may play in ameliorating some of the negative trends in society and the meta-crisis at large.🔗[Links & resources] 🔗Subscribe to Jordan’s SubstackFollow Jordan on TwitterSubscribe to Jordan’s YouTube channelRead The Religious Case Against Belief by James CarseWatch Jordan Peterson in conversation with John Vervaeke and Jordan HallWatch Jordan Hall in conversation with Jonathan Pageau and John VervaekeLearn more about Black Mountain, North Carolina📝[Show Notes] 📝0:00 - Introduction 3:07 - Jordan’s journey into religion & spirituality 16:39 - Entrepreneurship as a path to cultivating instincts and intuitions 20:40 - Landing in Black Mountain and finding Christianity 26:26 - Extensively studying Christianity and discovering a new level of humility 34:04 - What does Christianity afford that Eastern religions don’t?44:26 - The Meta-Crisis is a crisis of religion 54:05 - The Impact of Religious Traditions on Family 58:28 - Healing our religious trauma and deepening our capacity to love 1:04:05 - Differentiating intuition (divine calling vs egoic mind) 1:18:16 - Confronting fundamentalist forms of Christianity and finding a church that aligns 1:29:01 - Divine sensemaking *Subscribe to the Insighter Substack to get in-depth articles on the theory and practice of human transformation through a post-conventional lens*Add me on Facebook
