✨ Episode 2: “Faith Beyond Belief”

In this vulnerable and poetic episode, host Jacob confronts the pressure and overthinking that followed the launch of Episode 1. He reflects on the fine line between belief and faith—revealing why they are not the same—and champions an “eyes-wide-open” kind of faith built on trust instead of certainty.

Jacob also speaks candidly about hitting a wall of burnout and experiencing moments of despair, even fleeting thoughts of not existing. Through these struggles, he discovers a path to inner peace by letting go of control and finding stillness amid life’s chaos.

Drawing on mystical insights and Taoist wisdom, he explores the paradox of opposites coexisting in our journey. He illustrates how fear can sit alongside faith, and how moments of confusion can lead to greater clarity—echoing the yin-yang harmony of life’s highs and lows.

The episode’s tone is sincere and inviting, making deep spiritual reflections accessible to open-minded seekers, skeptics, and anyone looking for meaning beyond rigid beliefs. It's a heartfelt exploration of presence, trust, and the beauty of embracing the unknown.
