Meaning in the Middle

God

Episode Summary

In this episode, we're starting with the low-hanging fruit, the softball topic, taking a long slow ramp into the shallow end...we're going to talk about GOD.

Episode Notes

What is GOD? 

In episode 3 we're tackling this question, and good news, we totally solve it once and for all. 
Ryan starts us off with the idea of God as the "ground of all being" and we discuss trying to connect that framing to a sentient God that intervenes in human affairs.
