🎯 IN THIS EPISODE:

How does the Spirit of Life bring renewal and hope, even in chaos and grief?

In this episode Tyler, Maron, and Barry wrap up the When God Lives in You series by diving into the Spirit of Life and God's greening power that brings renewal to all creation. We explore the concept of Veriditas, connect Tom Bombadil to the Spirit's playfulness, wrestle with finding joy amidst grief, and discover what it means to be resurrection people living between creation's groaning and new creation's hope.
