    A podcast host, a pastor and a biophysicist walk into a bar to talk about discovery, innovation and God w/ Gavin Merrifield

    Welcome to the Now There’s a T H O U G H T bar! Ok, so it’s not a bar, it’s a space graciously provided by Gavin from Believing Science and Christians in Science but it contains drinks and good company so it’s close enough. My name is Louise and I am your podcast host. I am joined by Pastor Andy Waddams of Gallery Church in Birmingham and Gavin the biophysicist to walk into a bar and talk about discovery, innovation and God. Let’s grab a seat, though I’m afraid you’ll have to buy your own drink…
