In Flux is a podcast about building a life with direction—when you feel stuck, scattered, or like you’re drifting into an identity you didn’t choose. I break down psychology and identity research, translate it into normal language, and turn it into real-world experiments you can try this week. Expect solo episodes on identity formation, exploration vs commitment, meaning, habits, anxiety, and the frameworks that help you move forward—without pretending life is simple. If you want growth that’s honest, practical, and rooted in ideas worth studying, you’re in the right place.

Morality Is Not What You Think It Is
<p>In this episode, Micah and I explore a question that completely reframes morality:</p><p>What if right and wrong are not just rules — but alignment or misalignment with reality itself?</p><p>Drawing from Aristotle’s idea that virtue shapes perception, John Vervaeke’s account of beauty as the recognition of deeper realness, and the classical privation theory of evil, we examine whether morality might be structural rather than merely legal.</p><p>If reality has an objective order independent of our preferences, what grounds that order? Is moral experience just projection, or are we perceiving something real? And if reality itself is intelligible and ordered, what does that imply about God?</p><p>This conversation moves from philosophy to theology, from beauty to sin, and from perception to participation.</p><p>Not a final answer — but a serious attempt at integration.</p>

Explore So You Don’t Drift: Identity Formation, Exploration, and Commitment
<p>Identity isn’t only something you “discover”—it’s also something you build. In this episode, we break down identity formation using research on exploration and commitment, including Marcia’s classic identity status model and later work separating healthy exploration from ruminative, stuck exploration.</p><p>You’ll learn the four identity states (diffusion, foreclosure, moratorium, achievement), how the wrong kind of exploration fuels anxiety and indecision, and how to turn exploration into real direction—so you don’t drift into a life you never chose.</p><p>Based on identity research, including Marcia (1966) and later work distinguishing healthy vs ruminative exploration.</p>

#3: What is Truth?
<p>In this episode, I go deeper into our journey of discovering the truth, but before we get too far we have to be sure to define our terms clearly so we can then know and understand how to move forward through this study. </p><p>I discuss some of the main views of truth, what it is and how we are going to use that to continue the study.</p>
