Summary

Oh friends. This is your friendly heads up that this is a MAJOR note-taking episode! The brilliant Dr. Alicia Britt Chole teaches us about the night originating before sin in Eden, what the Gospel says about our capacity, and how to do grace well. It's also a very special conversation about the Gospels that I know you're going to love. Make sure to grab a copy of Dr. Chole's latest book, The Night is Normal. It's incredibly beautiful and I hope you will not just read it, but sit with it. I'm so thankful for this conversation and the kindness of Dr. Chole! . . . .
