EP 08 | How Philosophy Revealed God with Dr. Stephen Priest

Is God just an abstract idea, or is He the literal "Now" that holds your reality together?In this deep-dive finale, philosopher Dr. Stephen Priest explains how "fundamental ontology," the study of pure being, leads logically from atheism to the Trinitarian God. We move beyond abstract theory into the "Eternal Now," exploring why the present moment is the closest we get to the Divine.Plus, Dr. Priest shares a powerful, practical Christian breathing meditation to replace anxiety with divine presence ("God in, Devil out"). If you are interested in the intersection of consciousness, existentialism, and deep theology, this episode is the masterclass you’ve been waiting for. IN THIS EPISODE:Why "Being" and "Presence" point directly to the Trinity.How Heidegger’s Being and Time misunderstands the "Now."Why God is not an optional "add-on" to the universe, but its foundation.Practical Application: A breathing technique for Christian mindfulness.TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Intro: Does the argument for God entail the Trinity?01:17 – Heidegger, Time, and the "Eternal Now"02:40 – Why the Trinity is the "Fundamental Ontology"04:20 – Stephen’s Journey: From Atheism to Pure Being06:40 – The Philosophical Debate: Is "Existence" a real property?09:05 – Does a physical object (like a desk) have "Presence"?11:30 – How to live in the "Now" (Practical Theology)13:00 – Eastern Meditation vs. Christian Contemplation17:00 – The "God In, Devil Out" Breathing Technique21:10 – Why Atheism is a "Lack of Understanding" of Being23:55 – The Immanence of God: Closer than you think25:00 – Conclusion: Why Metaphysics is plausible againRESOURCES & LINKSListen to Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfXgo8h5QaEDr. Stephen Priest’s Work: https://stephenpriest99.wixsite.com/websitePlease consider supporting Soul Science Ministries: https://donorbox.org/soul-science-ministries #Philosophy #Theology #Consciousness #Christianity #StephenPriest #Existentialism #Trinity #Apologetics #Meditation #Metaphysics
