Dan & Can Podcast 158: When Faith Prevents Self-Awareness

The Dan & Can Podcast is a space for honest, nuanced conversations about spirituality, nervous system awareness, deconstruction, and what it means to live awake in a complex world.

Over time, critical thinking weakens—and self-awareness becomes harder to access.We also discuss how vilifying certain groups keeps people from hearing their stories, reinforcing fear responses that harm both individuals and the collective.One powerful way to grow in self-awareness? Listening to the stories of people who have lived very different lives than you—and believe very different things.We also reflect on how, within Christianity, people are often taught to see themselves only as the heroes of the biblical story—identifying with the disciples, David, or Paul—rather than recognizing themselves in every character. At different points in life, we have all been:True self-awareness comes when we stop seeing ourselves as superior and start seeing ourselves as human.This episode opens the door to a conversation we know we’ll return to—because self-awareness isn’t the end goal.
