*Thoughts shape Beliefs, which influence Decisions*I have always been a curious kid. I wanted to believe what I learned. But I got tired of not getting straight answers to some of the *Big* *Questions of Life*.My quest led me to earn an interdisciplinary PhD in paleoanthropology, neuroscience and theology.As a boots-on-the-ground field explorer to over 100 countries, I seek first-hand confirmation to check the facts of truth claims and to verify evidence for my own inherited beliefs.I will share insights drawn from over 30 years of interdisciplinary scholarship and field exploration to liberate my listeners from bogus claims or inaccurate assumptions.I will offer data mined from a lifetime of travel and investigation as well as insights into inherited, adopted and adapted beliefs. All of the topics will be controversial, and that is okay.Join me on my journey to think things through, as I venture to places beyond my comfort zone, to meet people whose beliefs I do not share, and to learn as well as unlearn what I think I know.Socrates said “The unexamined life is not worth living”. Perhaps this podcast may change how you see the world and help make this planet a better place to live in.Connect with me:Facebook: ACT - Ron Choong ( https://www.facebook.com/AcademyforChristianThought/ )Instagram: @ron_choong ( https://www.instagram.com/ron_choong/ )Website: Academy for Christian Thought ( https://actministry.org )
