#47 - Jon Malesic

In our second episode back from hiatus, Steve Okey speaks with Jon Malesic, author of The End of Burnout from University of California Press. They talk about how his early interest in physics and the mysteries of the universe drew him to study theology, how his personal experience with burnout led to his research on it, and where he now situates himself with respect to theology.
