In this episode, Matt invites his friend Destin Sandlin to discuss the fascinating topic of light. They dive into the concept of the electromagnetic spectrum, highlighting that there are various forms of light, including those that are invisible to the naked eye, such as infrared and ultraviolet. This sparks a broader conversation about the scientific and philosophical implications of light, its properties, and how it contrasts with darkness.

They contemplate the divine attributes of light, its role as truth, and its unchanging nature.
