Our hero was raised to believe that faith was a virtue—but he’s starting to wonder if it was really just fear in a costume.

In this episode, he takes a closer look at what Mormons mean when they talk about faith. Is it really about hope? Or obedience? Or is it something more subtle—a tool that trains you to act before you think?

We explore the idea that faith becomes a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy, especially when you're told to "bear testimony until you have one." Our hero breaks down the logic behind promptings, how Church members are encouraged to trust any “good” idea without questioning its source, and how this can lead to moral outsourcing.

You'll also get a look at how game theory fits in—how communities use stories to shape our behavior, and how faith can function as a long-term social strategy.

Somewhere along the way, we reframe the scripture about “laying up treasures in heaven,” and ask a bigger question: What kind of world are we building when we act on beliefs we don’t really believe?
