Ann Voskamp: Loved to Life (S12E32)
Episode description
In this episode of the Self Brain Surgery podcast, we have a powerful, healing conversation with New York Times bestselling author Ann Voskamp.
We discuss the theme of suffering and how faith integrates with science and reason, especially through the lens of the Gospel of John. Ann's latest book, Loved to Life, is a 40-day journey that aims to deepen one's understanding of Jesus and how to live a Christian life.
Amid personal stories of suffering and resilience, such as my experience in Iraq and Ann's family challenges, the discussion emphasizes the transformative power of faith in Jesus.
