Rt. Rev. Brian Cole, the 5th Bishop of the Diocese of East Tennessee, joins us to discuss Thomas Merton, the Trappist monk and writer from the mid-twentieth century.

Too much violence, especially gun violence, these days. We need a different story to live by. Fr. Jason reminds us that we have a different story we can live into and tell. Instead of the stories of violence, retribution, and revenge that the world wants us to live by, we can live into and tell the story of the Life, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus, the story of Grace, Love, Forgiveness, and Peace.
