The Ponder Podcast
We live in a world overflowing with opinions, claims, and almost-truths. Everyone believes they’re right — but what if the way we see the world isn’t the way it truly is? The Ponder Podcast offers short, thought-provoking episodes that blend story, history, and reflection to sharpen discernment and spark honest self-examination. The first six episodes form Arc One, exploring everyday lies, the danger of “almost truth,” how trust can be weaponized, what it really means to believe, the logic behind life’s biggest wagers, and whether our lives are accidental or intentional. Sometimes heavy, sometimes light — always worth pondering. Learn more about each episode arc at ThePonderPodcast.com. See truth clearly. Seek truth honestly.
