Why do we give things up—possessions, comfort, even our lives—in the name of love, faith, or hope? Is sacrifice a sacred act—or a way to make sense of fear and chaos? Do we need suffering to forgive, to grow, to be reborn?
On this episode of the English-language show #InfinitelyCurious with Katerina Batzaki, we explore the ancient, mysterious force of sacrifice through the lens of psychology, myth, spirituality, and the deeply personal.
Featuring voices from:
– Jordan Peterson – on sacrifice as the ultimate bargain with the future
– Dr. Andrew M. Henry – on why animal sacrifice shaped early religion
– Tanya Luhrmann – on how modern believers “hear” God speak
We may not have all the answers—but perhaps something in this journey will stay with you.
