Justin and Stephen conclude the conversation with Marcus Dip Silas about relational knowing and the nature of truth. In today’s episode (pt. 3 of 3), they consider how truth is encountered and shared. Marcus talks about beauty and truth in cooking, and Justin shares about a project in which his students make a soundtrack for the Gospel of John. Marcus and Justin reflect on what Georgia O’Keeffe and Vincent Van Gogh communicate about truth. Stephen asks Marcus about where he finds hope.

Justin and Stephen also talk about early morning sports, a recent gallery showing at Sprig, Envision Berlin’s creative space, and polarization in US society after the recent Supreme Court decisions. They will post more of their reflections about that on Patreon, before too long. We’re also inviting listeners to contribute questions on Patreon. Let us know what questions you have for us!
