The Re-emergence of Individual and Collectivizing Spirits in the Public Western World
Jonathan Pageau, a symbolic artist, delves into the significance of the virgin birth and how it symbolizes spiritual manifestation. Clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson shares reflections on the complexities of faith, exploring the intersection of Christianity and personal meaning.
