Spencer Klavan sits down with Bridget to discuss his new book, Light of the Mind, Light of the World: Illuminating Science Through Faith. They talk about faith, science, nihilism, depression, personal growth, the false dichotomy between scientific rationality and religious belief, the fact that many great scientists were theists, and that the modern conflict between science and religion is outdated. They also cover Spencer’s personal journey to faith, his experience as a gay Christian, how he reconciles his faith with his identity, the importance of finding meaning through faith rather than nihilism, a practical approach to spirituality, and how personal darkness can lead to spiritual awakening.
