Your Questions Matter - A Conversation with Will Rose & Thomas Johnston

There’s a widespread perception that faith and science are at war, but I think the reality is much more nuanced than that oppositional positioning.In this episode, I’m talking with Will Rose and Thomas Johnston. They're two pastors who started a podcast called Your Matter Matters because they share conviction that curiosity is not the enemy of belief. We get into AI, public health, wonder, the pandemic, and what it actually looks like to have honest conversations about faith and science in a community that’s scared of both.And in case you didn’t notice, we just hit a milestone: episode number fifty of Personalist Manifesto(s). For those who have been on this personalist journey from the start, thanks for all your support.For those who are recent additions, welcome. We’re so glad you’re here.And for those who might want to join the contemplative revolution, who’s inviting them in? Maybe you can help me with that. Review, comment, share, subscribe, support financially… you know what I mean.Your Matter Matters YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mRTwUOJO3Q&list=PLp_AwoZ2W80k8WEWLYYXmJNSZkaYoWRSXYour Matter Matters Podcast:https://your-matter-matters.captivate.fm/Will Rose is an ELCA Lutheran Pastor serving as Parish Pastor at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church and Lutheran Campus Ministry in Chapel Hill NC.
