Why We Can't Agree on What Faith Is and What We Can Learn From It. 00:34:47 – 00:35:49

Q&A on the epistemology of faith

Shannon asked whether trust backed by evidence becomes knowledge, not faith. Mike agrees it could be called knowledge but argues there is no reason faith and knowledge are mutually exclusive. Faith is not just intellectual assent to facts but personal trust and allegiance — "I entrust my heart and life to him." That commitment dimension is why faith terminology is still appropriate even when one has evidence.
