Episode notes

Initially, the speaker disliked poetry, especially Spanish poetry, but a professor's challenge led to a newfound love for it. The speaker now appreciates poetry for its emotional connection and depth, likening it to music. Unlike prose, poetry does not always follow traditional formats and requires time to digest its heaviness and depth, similar to savoring good German bread.

Professor Lori Denning continues to explore the themes of conversion and sacrifice and how the Lord calls us each to different places and responsibilities to strengthen one another.
