"I've Always Wondered" Recurring 2025 Sermon Series - Faith & Science

Episode Summary

This Sunday in our I’ve Always Wondered series, we’re asking some big, wonderful questions about faith, science, and wonder. Our guest, Dr. Linn Van Woerkom, is a distinguished physicist, longtime professor at The Ohio State University, and a devoted United Methodist who sees no contradiction between his faith and his scientific work—in fact, he sees a conversation. I’ve had the chance to talk with him over the past few weeks, and I can tell you: you’re in for a treat. We’ll explore questions like: Can you really be both a scientist and a Christian? What do science and faith say together that they can’t say alone? How can mystery be a gift, not a problem? Dr. Van Woerkom’s thoughtful, humble approach reminds us that the more we know, the more we realize how vast God is—and that’s good news.
