Summary

Actuaries use data and expected value to predict outcomes across large groups—but those models can’t determine an individual’s future. In this episode, Brian explores where calculation ends and trust begins. Faith becomes personal when we stop analyzing probabilities and start living into what we’ve seen to be true, choosing trust over endless evaluation.
