What you are about to hear is part two of seven in a series explaining a foundational book by David Bentley Hart.

My interest in high theism is strengthened by the fact that you can have a deep faith, be a skeptic, or a confused doubter and still embrace these first principles and ideas about existence.

Please enjoy all seven in the series as they roll out this summer at my youtube channel: youtube.com/@Sparkmymuse

Today, I give you some excerpts from my live chat conversation with scholar Robert J. Monson. We speak together some about the desert elders, but also about Robert’s work at the intersection of Blackness, disability, and softness (among other things) and we get into the topics of lust, sexuality, desire which the church has notoriously gotten wrong.

Please find the full replay of our time here (the Spark My Muse youtube channel), if you’d like. Becoming a subscriber costs nothing but is helpful to get the word out.
