It's not a leap of faith in something supernatural, it's a leap of faith like: okay, I believe you, I believe the words that are coming out of your mouth, and that's all.

With a focus on asking for help and becoming a better citizen of the world, this conversation is both enlightening and encouraging. Plus, Steph hints at her own upcoming podcast series where she'll dive deeper into the book's most challenging passages for secular individuals.
