"There's something about naming God's goodness in a thing that softens your heart toward it."—John van Sloten.
Episode 55 of Spirituality for Ordinary People features an interview with John van Sloten. In it, we focus on three areas: 1) God's presence in popular culture 2) Our jobs as parables for understanding God
The interview is a deep dive into understanding the revelation of God. How is God speaking / or revealing himself.
