Hey everyone, this week it's the launch of my brand new book  Dis-Ordered: A Christian Journey Through the Problem of Evil & Suffering, and because of all the wonderful activity I'm immersed in with the launch of this book, I thought it might be nice to just go back into the archives and pull out an important conversation from the past with Dr. John Walton.
