S02E02 50 vs 18 - A Gen X Reckoning
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
At 18, I was absolutely certain I had life, faith, and morality figured out.
At 50, I know how wrong that certainty made me.
In this episode of The Mighty Philbert, I reflect on who I was at 18 — licensed into ministry, convinced of biblical inerrancy, and quick to judge — and contrast that with who I am now: more curious, more empathetic, and far less interested in being right than in reducing harm.
This isn’t a theology debate.
It’s a Gen X reflection on certainty, indoctrination, and the long road to empathy.
