The Grateful Podcast with Jack Wagoner 
Episode 59
Guesting Ben Hancock

In this episode of the Grateful Podcast, I had the pleasure of engaging in a deep conversation with Ben Hancock, host of the podcast 'For All The Saints.' We explored various themes surrounding faith, spirituality, and the role of community in religious practices. The discussion delved into the differences and similarities between various belief systems, the resurgence of interest in spirituality among younger generations, and the importance of personal faith in overcoming life's challenges. We also touched on the relationship between science and faith, the impact of technology on spirituality, and the significance of community in fostering a sense of belonging and support. 

If you want to know what the future holds for faith, this is the episode for you.

Here were my main takeaways:
The podcast emphasizes the importance of sharing and reviewing to spread the message of gratitude.
A welcoming environment for diverse beliefs is crucial for understanding.
People often focus on differences in beliefs rather than similarities.
The Latter Day Saints have unique beliefs about the nature of God.
There is a resurgence of interest in religious practices among younger generations.
Spirituality and organized religion can complement each other.
Community plays a vital role in faith and support.
Hypocrisy exists in all faiths, and it's important to differentiate between faith and its members.
Faith can help individuals overcome challenges and build resilience.
Optimizing for fulfillment rather than external success leads to greater happiness.
