Humility and the Unknown with Dr. Joel M...

THAT SOUNDS FUN NETWORK
About this episode

After reading Dr. Joel Muddamalle's new book called The Hidden Peace, I knew we HAD to have him on to talk about the Gospels as we prepare to head into Holy Week.  He is just so brilliant and I can't wait to hear your thoughts after you listen! We talked about the divine humility of Christ, walking through instead of getting over, and where Jesus went on Holy Saturday. This conversation has me thinking about SO many things as we go into Holy Week!

As a reminder, we won’t air anything here on That Sounds Fun next week, but we’ll be back with you on Monday, April 1st. We also kick off our Let’s Read the Gospels Guided Journal Book Club that day… so make sure you’re subscribed to Let's Read the Gospels, grab your Guided Journal from your favorite book store, and join the Facebook group.
