    Wave-Particle Duality and the Two Natures of Christ. Bonus Episode 2: Dr. Guilaran

    In this unique bonus episode, Will discusses with a physics professor how the wave-particle duality, discovered in multiple quantum experiments in the late 19th and early 20th century, parallel Christ's existence as one being with two natures. The professor, Dr Guilaran, also emphasizes that without a christological understanding of the universe, some scientific concepts are forced to be "left in the lurch." Dr Guilaran also discusses how being a christian is a benefit to his profession, despite many loud voices saying that "science" and "God" contradict one another. I hope you enjoy this episode.

    Episode 15: Alex Rhody

    In this episode, Will interviews one of his good friends, Alex Rhody. Alex is an orthodox Christian who really takes to heart leading a sacramental lifestyle, which he argues is based on 3 practices: fasting, prayer, and alms-giving. Alex also talks about his personal struggle with cynicism/practical nihilism, which has many parallels to police work. Alex also makes a strong argument as to why police officers should find a tradition in which the Eucharist is presented as the body and blood of Christ. I hope you don't miss what Alex has to say!
