No. 1 Sugar Expert: 17 Seconds Of Pleasure Can Rewire Your Brain!

Are We Living Through the BIGGEST Crisis of Purpose & Meaning in History?

3 in 5 young Americans believe that their life lacks purpose. This isn’t just a statistic, it’s a silent epidemic reshaping mental health, identity and future...So, how do we fix it?

In this DOAC debate, Greg Koukl (Christian), Alex O’Connor (atheist), and Dr K (psychiatrist) explore why so many feel lost, whether God is the answer, how death anxiety drives our search for meaning, and how YOU can find direction…today. 

This isn’t just a discussion. It’s a confrontation with life’s hardest challenge: finding meaning, and how faith, reason, and spirituality compete to fill the void.

Greg Koukl is a Christian apologist, speaker, and founder of Stand to Reason, Alex O’Connor is a philosopher, writer, and host of the Cosmic Skeptic channel, and Dr K, is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist, mental health educator, and co-founder of Healthy Gamer. 

Together, they discuss: 

◼️If God gave you a purpose…what does that actually mean?

◼️Why “do what makes you happy” is terrible advice for finding meaning

◼️How comfort is quietly killing your sense of purpose

◼️The shocking truth about modern loneliness and identity loss

◼️The “paperclip problem” that exposes religion

Atheist vs Christian vs Spiritual Thinker: The Paperclip Problem That Exposes Religion!

In this moment, professional Human Biologist Gary Brecka discusses the simple actions that people can take everyday to prevent chronic diseases. These preventative steps include drinking mineralised water, taking Omega 3 supplements, but also having a morning routine that incorporates Mother Nature, using grounding and breathwork. Gary believes that these steps have a psychological benefit as well, as they represent internal promises that you make to yourself, and if you fulfil them every day, it helps to instil self-confidence and trust.
