The Independent Investigation of Reality with Gerry Tostowaryk | Created In The Image of God 159

Most people inherit their worldview. Gerry Tostowaryk decided to question his.

In this episode, we explore how philosophy becomes not just an abstract pursuit but a personal tool for cutting through noise, ideology, and inherited assumptions. Gerry—a lifelong student of history, science, religion, politics, and philosophy—shares how a book, Four Reasonable Men, sparked a restless pursuit of truth that challenged both his upbringing and his instincts.

We trace his journey from youthful indifference to a deliberate, sometimes uncomfortable, investigation of what’s real—and how he learned to separate fact from fiction across competing systems of thought.

From the limits of reason to the power of doubt, this episode doesn’t just examine ideas—it interrogates how we come to believe them in the first place.
