About this episode

John Mark and Dr. Sittser discuss the connection between the ordinary and extraordinary in faith through the lens of medieval church practices.

What if God is found as much in the ordinary as in the extraordinary? In this conversation, John Mark and Dr. Sittser take us into the days of the medieval church, highlighting the emphasis in that period on bridging the seen and unseen realms through architecture and the sacraments, showing how our faith can be enriched by the ordinary.
