Mathing Up the Faith (Review: “Arriving at Amen”)

Published September 1, 2015 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Faith, Reviews, Young Adult

I love a good conversion story. I’ve made a few attempts at writing my own, but I have never found quite the right angle of approach. It’s not the struggle to find something other than God in which to place my happiness, like it was for Jen Fulwiler. It’s not the attempt to make up… [Read More]

In All Its Inexhaustible Richness: Neuroscience and the Heart

Published February 14, 2014 • Written by Rachel Filed Under: Faith

A good friend of mine tagged me this week in an article on Facebook, about epigenetics and the 9 components of mental health, by Dr. Gregory Popcak.

Have you read Lumen Fidei yet? Part III: Faith in Relation to Love and Truth

Published September 27, 2013 • Written by Rachel Filed Under: Blog

I’m still working on reading it myself! As we follow our Pope in all his tweets and homilies, and that beautiful and authentic interview released last week, and how the media responds, etc, let’s take a break from the sound-byte surfing and dive back in to the deep end – to continue our slow process… [Read More]

The Theology of Sound Part II: The Key to Beauty

Published July 15, 2013 • Written by David Casper Filed Under: Faith, Social Media and Tech

For Part I, click here. In Part I, we talked briefly about how we are part of creation, yet we are set apart from it, and that there is something, some quality about us that the all rest of the universe does not possess. As it turns out, there are many different ways to talk about… [Read More]

Weathered But Not Destroyed

Published June 6, 2013 • Written by Cristina Almanza Filed Under: Faith

I was left in complete awe and shock when I heard about the EF5 “El Reno” tornado on Friday with wind speeds reaching 295 mph. It is also the widest tornado ever recorded at 2.6 miles wide according to the National Weather Service. The actual mesocyclone, the parent storm above the massive tornado, was at… [Read More]

Modern Science: A Sin Against Intelligence?

Published November 27, 2012 • Written by Matt Sullivan Filed Under: Faith

Science as a quest for understanding of the workings of the universe had its formal beginnings in ancient Greece.  It was augmented by the scholastics of the Middle Ages, who added the philosophical foundation on the notion that the universe is intelligible.  However, as Henri de Lubac notes, there was more recently a shift in… [Read More]

Curiosity landed early this morning on the surface of Mars. The robot, the size of a car, was launched on November 26th, 2011 with initial planning for the mission goes back at least to April 2004.

God and the “God Particle”

Published July 19, 2012 • Written by Matt Sullivan Filed Under: Faith

  News is now widespread that the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the world’s most powerful particle accelerator shared by France and Switzerland, has generated a high-energy reaction which provides convincing evidence for the existence of the Higgs boson, known in contemporary circles as the “God particle”.  The Higgs field is a theoretical medium that… [Read More]

Written on Our Hearts (Book Review: Born for Love: why empathy is essential – and endangered)

Published March 12, 2012 • Written by Rachel Filed Under: Family, Reviews

Throughout my adult life I’ve become increasingly interested in the dialogue between psychology and religion, between science and faith. This book affirms that the more I read and understand, the more I see that science can be a window into the “law that is written on our hearts.” (Jer 31:33 “ I will place my… [Read More]
