The readings for this week are Acts 10:44-48, Psalm 98, 1 John 5:1-6, and John 15:9-17.  This week we discuss mutualistic relationships, relationships where both benefit, are quite common in nature and are essential to life here on earth.  When we are called to love one another could that also mean things that are beyond the human experience?  Personally, I think it is a vital part to our connection with God and can easily be missed if we do not nurture it.  Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.

Remember to answer this week's question:

Where are you in connection with something that's greater than human connection but is also vital for your relationship with God?  #FaithandSciPod
