Faith and Reason, Pt. 2: Irenaeus Ron and John
Season 2 is over! Season 3 is here. As they prepare for a new Advent series in the Year of our Lord 2021, Ron and John pause to reflect on where they’ve been and where they’re headed. Also, come see what Christmas has to do with the end of the world!

How does the story end? Ron and John conclude their survey of Jonah as we find Jonah and God in conversation for the first time. Through their dialogue we see Jonah’s motivations, God’s heart, and the big lesson of the story. Image: Davidbena, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons
