S1E9: Faith & Science (feat. Augustine & Galileo)


Listen Later

In this episode, Augustine of Hippo and Galileo Galilei step across time to wrestle with one of the oldest and most misunderstood tensions in Christian history: the relationship between faith and science. Through their imagined dialogue, we explore how Scripture, reason, tradition, and discovery were never meant to be enemies—but partners in the pursuit of truth.

Matt & Matt reflect on where the Church has sometimes stumbled, where it has grown, and how believers today can engage scientific curiosity without abandoning biblical conviction.

  • What is Scripture actually trying to teach us?
  • Does scientific discovery threaten faith, or strengthen it?
  • And how do we discern when to read the Bible literally, poetically, or theologically?

Whether you’ve wrestled with Genesis, wondered about miracles, or asked how Christians should think about the natural world, this episode invites you into a deeper, more integrated way of seeing God’s Word and God’s world.
