In this episode of the Shock Absorber podcast, Tim, Joel and Fi explore the role of church traditions in clarifying what we believe, particularly through the lens of confirmation and youth camp experiences.

They dive into how these traditions help young people, especially those in Years 9 and 10, as they navigate a time of self-determination and begin to count the cost of their faith journey. As we reflect on these formative moments, they finish with some thoughts, courtesy of listener Greg, on the rise of artificial intelligence and how, in some ways, it seems to be eating itself.
