In this conversation, @BenjaminABoyce reflects on his role as a content creator and interviewer, emphasizing the importance of honesty, relationships, and personal connection in his work. He discusses the tension between presenting facts and constructing narratives, highlighting how narratives shape societal values and institutions. Boyce touches on his spiritual journey, moving from a secular to a more pastoral approach, where he values human connection over doctrinal conflicts.

VanderKlay plays a central role in this community, bringing together diverse voices who engage with deep questions about life, spirituality, and culture.
