On today’s show, Chong and Dan commemorate an important milestone - after 10 years, Dan has completed bible college! The main topic of our show is “belonging”. We reflect on what is special about this word - it is passive (we don’t “do” it), and it is always in relation to something or someone else. Belonging is also a core part of our identity. Therefore it is no surprise that in our individualistic culture, there is a “crisis” of both belonging and identity. What is the “solution”? Dan boldly claims that true belonging cannot be fulfilled by this world, but rather granted by God.

Show notes
Dan finished bible college! (1:54)
- Reflections and quick-fire questions
- Huge personal lesson: everyone is walking their own path, you cannot plan for life
Meditations on belonging (7:11)
- You can’t “do” belonging
- You belong only in relation to other things - family, place, nation, etc.
- To belong is a fundamental aspect of human identity
- To belong is to have an obligation to others
The modern crisis of belonging (26:00)
- (Young) people who are lost - we all feel it
- Self-sabotage - showing up is hard, so we don’t do it, therefore sacrificing our long-term identity
- External obstacles in modern life
What is the solution? (45:46)
- We can’t get belonging just by trying harder
- Dan gets preachy - only Christianity offers true belonging through a God who sent his son into the world to find us
Conclusion (56:06)
- Parable of the Prodigal Son - belonging that is lost and found again, by grace
- Merry Christmas - please tell a friend about our show and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts :)
