Holy Hulu: Everything Everywhere All at Once | Jeremiah Lepasana | “Three Lies of Functional Nihilism”: Psalm 18

In Everything Everywhere All At Once the single great enemy is nihilism—the belief that everything is meaningless and that nothing really matters. Though few would admit to believing this completely, we spoke about how it is very possible to functionally live as though nothing ultimately matters.How do we get there? We can fall prey to three lies made visible in E.E.A.A.O.:I am alone.I have been abandoned.I am unloveableWe then jumped into Psalm 18 to see how David—reflecting on the highs and lows of his life—wrote a psalm-song about His God who was, and remains to be for us, intimate, overwhelming, and gentle.…And, because he is intimate, we can hold that we are not alone.…because he is overwhelming in his defense of his beloved, we have not been abandoned.…because he is gentle towards his children, we know that we are loved.
