Marisa Renee Lee: Making A Stubborn Commitment to Hope

What does it take to keep hoping when hope keeps breaking your heart? Tami Simon speaks with Marisa Renée Lee—New York Times bestselling author of Grief Is Love and Waiting for Dawn: Living with Uncertainty—about what she calls a "ruthless, stubborn commitment to hope": the conviction that something better is coming, and the willingness to do whatever is necessary to make it so, even in the darkest seasons.

Ilia Delio: A Cyborg Christian on the God Revolution We Need Now

What if the God you've been taught to believe in is the very thing that’s keeping you from finding God? Tami Simon speaks with Sister Ilia Delio—Franciscan theologian, scientist, and author of The Not Yet God—about the evolutionary vision of Teilhard de Chardin, why monotheism is giving way to a new religious consciousness, and how AI, far from threatening our humanity, might be the unexpected catalyst for a God revolution.
