## Resource

Brian reflects on the role of testimony in how humans understand truth. While modern culture often prioritizes data and measurable evidence, much of life—including justice, trust, and faith—depends on the credibility of witnesses. This episode explores the importance of human testimony and asks what it means to listen carefully to the “cloud of witnesses” throughout history.
