If you doubt or deny god, you will probably ignore that tug, like I did, and continue onward.
Ever wondered why corpses and ghosts send chills down our spines? In this episode of 'Why Did Peter Sink?', Peter Flies unpacks the eerie connection between body and soul.

Peter also dives into his own journey with addiction and recovery, shedding light on the limits of sheer willpower and the profound role of the Holy Spirit in finding strength. He doesn’t shy away from the big questions either, like how Jesus' claim to divinity shapes our understanding of his teachings. And if you think science and faith are worlds apart, think again.
Peter explores how non-scientific beliefs can influence scientific fields, challenging us to rethink what we know about the world around us. This episode is a rich blend of philosophy, personal struggle, and spiritual insight, offering a fresh perspective on some of life's biggest mysteries. Perfect for anyone grappling with addiction, faith, or simply curious about the deeper questions of existence.
