Points of Intersection
by Jonah Kunisch
Now featuring commentaries following episodes of The Weekly Intellectual! We are all on a journey. We seek truth, trying to make sense of the world around us - attempting to understand it's complexity. The complexity within us is not the least of these, and the complexity of the universe's origins can be dumbfounding. Join me as I delve into these complexities through conversation and inquiry, using the tools of reason and faith.
