S5:E9 - Carolyn Weber & 'Four Questions God Asks'

Rachel Donahue interviews Dr. Carolyn Weber about how poetry has shaped her life and faith, and also her newest release, Four Questions God Asks. Carolyn is best known for her memoir Surprised By Oxford, which has been turned into a movie (available on Apple, Angel or Amazon) but Carolyn is also a poet and the trajectory of her entire life has been altered by how deeply she engaged with a John Donne poem which helped her understand the gospel as a graduate student.
