Dr. Gaven Kerr returns to The Pat Flynn show for another 2.5 hour crash course in metaphysics, philosophy of religion, and the Aristotelian-Thomistic approach to God.

Defending Aquinas's famous real-distinction between essence and existence. How the real-distinction leads to affirming the existence of God as pure existence itself.
