Intellectual Freedom Podcast
Intellectual freedom is not just a buzzword. It is a fundamental necessity for human civilization and your life's flourishing. It is the essence of the human spirit to question, explore, and seek answers to the most profound questions that confront us every day.
Without intellectual freedom, we are but slaves to the whims of those in power, unable to challenge authority, push boundaries, or pursue truth. In our post-modern world, ignorance and oppression weigh heavy on all of us, stifling creativity, innovation, and progress. The quest for knowledge is not a luxury. It is a basic human need. Only through intellectual freedom can we unlock the full potential of our collective intellect and build a brighter future for all.
This podcast explores topics in culture, philosophy, wisdom literature, and complex problems we all confront in life.

#105: Shared Values: Exploring the Common Ground of Abrahamic Religions
The news headlines are admittedly ugly. War, hate, anger, and division, unfortunately, represent the interactions of Jews, Christians, and Muslims. But, if we deeply read the texts of these three great religions, there is deep wisdom to be uncovered.
For many, it may be shocking to see that the shared values and common ground of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are more numerous than the differences. At the heart of these Abrahamic religions lie powerful messages of compassion, love, and justice that can guide us toward a better tomorrow.
By exploring these faiths' commonalities, we can discover a unifying message that transcends the boundaries of religion, race, and culture. Join us on a journey of discovery as we delve deep into the timeless teachings of these Abrahamic religions. This week we focus heavily on Islam and the "Final Prophet," Muhammad.
In the end, you will discover that in a world of depression, anxiety, and loneliness, the Abrahamic positions, together, can serve as a force for good in our world today.
