Summary

I love Tom Oord. It is rare someone as intelligent as Tom is simultaneously committed to the life of the church, sensitive to people's lived experience, and advancing the intellectual quest in multiple areas. In this episode I talk with Tom about his newest book, God Can't: how to believe in God and Love after Tragedy, Abuse, and other Evils. During this conversation we both share a number of personal stories. Some of them may be a bit intense if you are listening with kids or the expectation of just nerdiness.
