If we want to find the truth in anything, we first need to know how truth, knowledge, and thought work.

I sit down with Dr. Jordan Grant, a board-certified urologist who left conventional practice to rethink health, knowledge, and belief. His medical background raises a deeper question: how do you know anything at all?

We break down why every claim to knowledge depends on unproven starting points. Most of what people call knowledge is closer to assumption than certainty. This shows up clearly in healthcare, where people are taught to trust experts without understanding how those conclusions are formed.

You’ll also hear how stepping away from traditional urology led to a more integrated approach that considers physical, mental, and spiritual health together.

This is for listeners who are already questioning what they’ve been told and want a clearer way to think about truth, health, and authority.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[07:53] The problem of the criterion: why every knowledge claim gets stuck in a loop

[17:46] Why we were conditioned to see belief as the enemy of knowing

[37:43] The big bang and evolution aren't science, they're cosmologies

[50:15] Why principles must trump pragmatism in politics

[01:15:10] Why the scientific method cannot actually be followed

[01:35:04] Believing a false story can physically change what your body does

[01:48:58] Germ theory, statism, and materialism all share the same fighting worldview

[02:05:32] Dispensationalism's do-nothing worldview is a practical failure

[02:19:49] Prayer as surrender, not strategy, and what omniscience means for how it works

[02:41:15] How to evaluate truth claims and avoid nihilism
