About this episode

The episode explores the concept of faith and inner knowledge through scripture and quotes from Thomas Merton.

Scripture John 20:29 (NIV) Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." Refrain I know God from the inside out. Quote Thomas Merton, from Thoughts in Solitude "The only true joy on earth is to escape from the prison of our own false self, and enter by love into union with the Life who dwells and sings within the essence of every creature and in the core of our own souls."
