The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted lives, industries, and even spirituality across the globe. In this week's episode, critically acclaimed author Philip Yancey sits down with Drs. Crystal and David C. Downing to discuss his new book called "Undone." Published by our close friends over at The Rabbit Room, Yancey's book "renders 17th century poet John Donne's meditations on suffering into modern English, revealing that Donne's world of the plague was not so very different from our own." Donne was a significant influence on C.S. Lewis, especially his views and writings on suffering and his book The Problem of Pain. This is a conversation you don't want to miss! And we encourage you to grab a copy of Yancey's book.

Reflecting Light starts off the month of February with a podcast about agape, or the love of God.  Mandy expands this idea by examining both the Greek and Hebrew definitions of God's love.  She also introduces us to some beautiful English and Bengali poetry about mans' relationship with the Gods. Listen in!

It's a disturbing idea for most people out there and the portrayal of the doppelganger throughout world and it’s various cultures give the idea of seeing your replica or the replica of another person a very negative connotation. It is not a good vibe.
