Aaron Franklin: The Literal Light of the World

Published: June 2, 2021, 11:15 a.m.

Could a greater understanding of the physical properties of light allow us to better radiate God's light\u2014spiritual light\u2014to those around us? How can our hope and trust in God increase when we more fully appreciate the ability of God's light to reach us? On this week\u2019s episode, we speak with Aaron Franklin, an engineer, chemist, and a professor at Duke University about how an increased grasp of principles of light could open our eyes to the gospel truths associated with spiritual light. \xa0

\u201cHow does God working by natural laws make Him any less divine? To me, it doesn\u2019t. If anything, it makes what God has done and continues to do more majestic.\u201d\xa0
