In this episode, we pick up where we left off last week with the topic of sin, and the connection between sin and "the healing medicine." What is Sin? What is the purpose of sin? How do we live with our own sins, let them work on us, and transform ourselves for the better through and because of them? Patrick and Jonah take up many paradoxical layers inherent in these questions. They contemplate the imagery of turning lead into gold, sin as "teacher," and the freedom that only comes from our ability to sin.

The Greek word for sin, "hamartia" or "ἁμαρτία", has a meaning of "missing the mark."  We hope you share your thoughts and experiences on this topic - and in response to this episode - in the comments below.
