Naason's Symposium

Society EN ↓ 38 episodes

Welcome to Naason’s Symposium — a modern table for timeless questions. Each week, I sit down with thinkers, dreamers, and everyday people to explore how faith, personal growth, and practical philosophy intersect in real life. From spiritual struggles to mental health, identity to ambition — this isn’t a lecture. It’s a journey. If you’re searching for meaning, tired of shallow self-help, or wrestling with purpose in a noisy world, you’re not alone. Let’s talk. Let’s grow. Let’s become.
