Friends, this week we sit down with Carol Howard Merritt to talk to her about her book "Spiritual Wounds".  And since we're in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic we also talk about how some Christian's insistence that the virus is a result of God's anger and wrath has the destructive power to wound people who are in a fragile state of mind.
