What happens when you stop needing to be right?
When Rhett McLaughlin left evangelicalism, he didn’t swap one belief system for another. He stepped into something far less comfortable: uncertainty.
In his conversation on the Rich Roll Podcast, Rhett describes how certainty had once shaped every interaction. If you believe you’ve got the “truth” and everyone else doesn’t, dialogue becomes stunted. Curiosity shrinks. Empathy withers.
What he’s learning now is that genuine uncertainty doesn’t mean you lack convictions, it means you hold them with enough humility to keep listening. It means you can take insight from people who see the world differently, and sometimes especially from them.
Certainty narrows conversation. Uncertainty opens it. And that openness is where better conversations, and better solutions, begin.
