Why Jordan Hall Converted to Christianity: Rethinking Religion, Divine Calling, & The Meta-Crisis

Jordan Hall is a tech entrepreneur, philosopher, and meta-systemic thinker who, over a year ago, announced his conversion to Christianity. In this conversation, we explore Jordan's early experiences with religion and spirituality, what ultimately drew him to Christianity, and what Christianity might offer that Eastern traditions do not. We get into entrepreneurship as a path to cultivating instincts and intuitions, landing in Black Mountain and finding Christianity, and the deeper humility Jordan discovered through extensive study of the tradition.We explore the idea that the meta-crisis is fundamentally a crisis of religion, the impact of religious traditions on family, and healing religious trauma while deepening our capacity to love.We also touch on discerning divine calling from the egoic mind, confronting fundamentalist forms of Christianity and finding a church that aligns, the shift from propositional to participatory forms of knowing, and what Jordan calls divine sensemaking.🔗 LINKS & RESOURCES 🔗Subscribe to Jordan’s SubstackFollow Jordan on TwitterSubscribe to Jordan’s YouTube channelRead The Religious Case Against Belief by James CarseWatch Jordan Peterson in conversation with John Vervaeke and Jordan HallWatch Jordan Hall in conversation with Jonathan Pageau and John VervaekeLearn more about Black Mountain, North Carolina🕰️ TIMESTAMPS 🕰️0:00 - Introduction3:07 - Jordan's journey into religion and spirituality16:39 - Entrepreneurship as a path to cultivating instincts and intuitions20:40 - Landing in Black Mountain and finding Christianity26:26 - Extensively studying Christianity and discovering a new level of humility34:04 - What does Christianity afford that Eastern religions don't?44:26 - The meta-crisis is a crisis of religion54:05 - The impact of religious traditions on family58:28 - Healing our religious trauma and deepening our capacity to love1:04:05 - Differentiating intuition — divine calling vs egoic mind1:18:16 - Confronting fundamentalist forms of Christianity and finding a church that aligns1:29:01 - Divine sensemaking*Subscribe to my YouTube channel to watch the video versions of the Elevating Consciousness Podcast *Subscribe to the Insighter Substack to get in-depth articles on the theory and practice of human transformation through a post-conventional
