Every day we're surrounded by an endless stream of headlines, opinions, advertisements, algorithms, and certainty. How do we separate signal from noise? This lighthearted discourse explores the value of discernment, the importance of asking good questions, and the humility to challenge our own assumptions.

                        Two hundred and fifty years ago, a bold idea was set loose in the world. Not just that a group of colonies could become a nation—but that ordinary people could govern themselves. That power did not come from kings. That authority did not come from divine right. But that legitimacy flowed from the people themselves. And yet—this was not just a political revolution. It was also a spiritual one. Because long before muskets were fired…ideas were already changing—in pulpits, in pamphlets, in quiet conversations about who we are and what we are capable of becoming. And in those conversations, we find the early roots of what would become Unitarian Universalism. The Morning Program
