More Spiritual Than God
Q: How do the hosts reinterpret Thomas's doubt in light of embodied faith?
They view it as a legitimate, human encounter where the need for tangible proof leads to a worship-filled confession, not mere intellectual assent.

Q: Caroline, have you heard the term eucatastrophe before coming to the Anselm Society, or what's your relationship with that word?
Caroline describes eucatastrophe as a familiar pattern in stories and scripture that signals a hopeful turning point, and she emphasizes its relevance to real life, not just fairy tales, noting its resonance with Lent, Easter, and the season as a whole.
