This conversation is in part John Vervaeke's response to my previous video with Jordan Hall (The End of Strategy:    • The End of Strategy  with Jordan Hall  ) where we discussed Jordan's recent conversion to Christianity. John fires up some questions, and we discuss different aspects of sensemaking and religious structures to answer the question: Why Christianity?
