Knowing Truth — What is TRUTH? How do you know when something is true? How do you go about finding out the truth about important but unknown things? What about when those things you are searching for are not physical things and cannot be measured by collecting data—things such as love, goodness, and your life’s purpose?

In this coaching exercise we will explore how you can know the “unknown.”

Coach: Ask your student to read out-loud the text on the left here and then ask them to tell you which parts of this makes sense and why, and if any parts do not seem right, and why.
