In this episode of The Perspicacious Perspective, I explore the timeless and pressing question: Is it worth believing in God? In an age where we are free to choose our faith—or reject religion entirely—what are the real consequences of both paths?

As I examine how belief (or unbelief) influences morality, community, personal responsibility, and the stability of Western society, I also reflect on the role of the Catholic Church in shaping the modern world. From the moral leadership of Pope John Paul II and the brief, almost forgotten papacy of Pope John Paul I, to the intellectual rigor of Pope Benedict XVI, each era offers a different lens on faith, authority, and cultural influence. With the election of the new pope in 2025—Pope Leo XIV—questions about the Church’s future and relevance have taken center stage once again.

Can religion still provide the structure, meaning, and ethical guidance many crave? Or has the decline of institutional faith left us more free—but more fragmented and directionless? Has Western society lost something vital by turning away from religious tradition?

Join me as I challenge conventional wisdom, ask the hard questions, and reflect on whether belief in God—and in institutions like the Catholic Church—is still meaningful in today's world.

Listen now and decide for yourself: Is it really worth believing in God?
