BQ23-MVTC: "What is truth anyway?" - with Tony Giampietro

In this episode of Mystic vs. Traditional Christianity from Better Questions, Kevin and Tony take a step back from their usual dynamic and dive into something more foundational: how we know what we know.

They explore whether objective truth exists, how philosophy intersects with faith and why it’s essential to define good and bad before entering any meaningful theological discussion. Tony makes the case that a philosophical foundation is necessary for understanding theology, arguing that without it, we’re just living reactively without any true moral compass.

Together, they wrestle with:

• 🧠 Why defining good and bad is the first step toward any belief system
• 📜 How Plato, Augustine and the idea of transcendent “forms” shape moral thought
• 🛠️ The idea of a “minimum viable foundation” for a meaningful worldview
• 🙏 Whether God is the bridge between finite human minds and infinite truth
• 🤔 Can we ever really know the truth or is wrestling with it the point?

This episode isn't about convincing but about building, brick by philosophical brick, the starting point of belief.

Whether you're religious, agnostic, spiritual or just intellectually curious, this conversation invites you to examine your own foundations and ask better questions.
