Is It More Important That Your Beliefs Are Useful or True?

Is It More Important That Your Beliefs Are Useful or True? Derek Sivers shares how reading the entire Bible—every single page over five months, paired with The Bible Project videos—led to a deeper understanding of belief and purpose. Mid-conversation, a listener jumps in, excitedly revealing they’re on the same journey and that Derek’s book Useful Not True profoundly changed their faith. They explain how letting go of needing God to be objectively true freed them to embrace what their belief does for them: it gives community, kindness, purpose, and a reason to wake up. Derek reflects on the billions of people who hold completely contradictory beliefs and how that tension led him to a powerful realization—very few beliefs are universally, objectively true. But that doesn’t mean they’re false. Instead, the better question is: does this belief serve you? Because while thoughts are internal, actions are observable—and that’s where truth lives. His message: don’t chase certainty, chase what helps you become the person you want to be.
