What if reality isn’t made of isolated things—but of relationships all the way down?

In this episode, we sit down with John Milbank to explore the strange and surprisingly relevant world of Trinitarian ontology. Together, we dig into a bold idea: that being itself might be more like a living communion than a collection of separate objects.

Along the way, we tackle big questions: Why does the Trinity still matter? How does it reshape our understanding of politics and the world? And what would it mean to see reality as fundamentally relational rather than competitive?

Expect a mix of deep theology and a few moments where your brain might do a happy double-take. Whether you’re a seasoned thinker or just Trinity-curious, this conversation opens up a fresh way of seeing the world—and your place in it.

Where did we get our idea of the devil? We often imagine pitchforks and horns, but is that how the church and Scripture imagine the supposed prince of darkness? Are there ideas about the great adversary to humanity that we've forgotten? And should we recapture them? What is true and what is false about this enigmatic figure?

On this episode, we "give the devil his due" and dive into the strange and often baffling history of the concept of Satan within the church. Guiding us like Virgil through the fiery gates is Prof. Gabrielle Thomas, who is, perhaps, the world's foremost expert on the early church and its views of Lucifer.

What happens to faith if we discover we’re not alone in the universe?

In this episode, we bring together Muslim and Christian perspectives to explore one of the biggest “what if” questions of our time: the existence of extraterrestrial life. Would aliens challenge belief in God—or deepen it? How do the Muslim and Christian approach the idea of life beyond Earth? And what would it mean for humanity’s place in creation?

Through an honest and respectful conversation, we dive into theology, philosophy, and science. Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or deeply rooted in your faith, this episode invites you to think bigger about the universe—and your place in it.
