About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of the ongoing conflict with Iran on Lebanon and features insights from Middle East expert Ambassador Fernandez and Bishop Earl Fernandez on the relationship between faith and reason.

As the conflict with Iran enters its fourth week, the widening fighting has now impacted multiple countries in the region. One of the most impacted is Lebanon. Register contributor and Middle East expert Ambassador Fernandez joins us this week on Register Radio. And then, Faith and Reason are not – and cannot – be in conflict with each other. Bishop Earl Fernandez of Columbus, Ohio, tells us about efforts to help young people see the importance of that relationship.
