This week we are happy to present one of the interviews Sarah did at Theology Beer Camp with the incredible Dr. Sarah Lane Ritchie. It is a wide ranging conversation but it centers on the hiddenness of God and what we do with that mystery. For many of us in REVcovery that question drove us out of the church altogether and this conversation helps us to see that maybe there is more behind the curtain.It's a great one folks, welcome to the REVcovery Room!This talk was a part of our experience at Homebrewed Christianity's Theology Beer camp.
