Why do so many people feel lost today — even when life looks good on the surface?

In this episode of Rule of Reason, I sit down with Dan Paterson from Questioning Christianity to unpack one of the biggest questions of our time: why modern life feels empty, and what might actually fix it.

We live in the most comfortable, advanced society in human history… yet anxiety, confusion, and a lack of purpose seem more common than ever.

So what’s going on?

This conversation goes beyond surface-level answers and explores:

• Why people feel lost despite having “everything”
• The difference between feeling meaning and grounding it
• How modern culture shapes our desires (often without us realising)
• The role of suffering, purpose, and responsibility in a meaningful life
• Whether it’s possible to live a truly meaningful life without God
• Why doubt isn’t the enemy — and how questioning can lead to truth

Dan shares his personal story — including tragedy, doubt, and the journey that led him to dedicate his life to helping others wrestle with life’s biggest questions.

This isn’t about religion for the sake of religion.

It’s about truth, meaning, and how to actually live well.

If you’ve ever felt like something is missing — this conversation is for you.
