This episode explores the concept of "truth" and how our preconceived notions can hinder our understanding of faith and the world around us. Drawing on the author's childhood experience of living in Spain, we discover how his image of the country was shaped by a children's book, leading him to believe Spain was a penguin-inhabited iceberg. This anecdote serves as a metaphor for how easily we can cling to distorted perceptions, even when they are far from reality.

The conversation then shifts to examine how these ingrained ideas impact our interpretation of Jesus and the Gospel message. We often project our own expectations and desires onto our understanding of faith, failing to see the true picture. The chapter challenges listeners to confront their own "truths" and consider whether they are based on genuine understanding or inherited biases.

The episode concludes by emphasizing the transformative power of grace, a force that transcends human limitations and offers a path to genuine connection with the divine. This exploration of truth, perception, and grace encourages listeners to examine their own beliefs and open themselves to a deeper understanding of faith.

This episode is based on the chapter "Hello from Spain" from Cardboard Astronaut 2.0 by Armando Heredia. The book is available as an e-book and paperback at https://armandocreative.com.
