The Faith and Science Podcast

3-15-26 - Let the Light In


Listen Later

The readings for 4th Sunday in Lent are 1 Samuel 16:1-13, Psalm 23, Ephesians 5:8-14, and John 9:1-41. This week we explore how the healing of the man born blind in John 9 challenges us to stay open to miracles rather than getting caught up in rules and technicalities — just like the Pharisees did. Drawing a striking parallel to the Prisma visual prosthesis, a cutting-edge microchip implant showing early promise in restoring sight to those with macular degeneration, we get to celebrate what is accomplished rather than dismissing it for falling short of perfection. Woven throughout is a timely reflection on cynicism — in our faith, in our relationship with science, and in our everyday lives — and a call to let the light in, even when it arrives in unexpected ways.  Let me know what you think of it.

Remember to answer this week's question:

Where do you need to be less cynical? #FaithandSciPod
