## Resource

This week is challenging; convicting. "God is Light and in Him is no darkness at all!" Gnostics claim God is evil, physical things are evil, and hidden esoteric knowledge is the true way to salvation. John claims God is Light, Jesus put on flesh, He will teach us all things and He is the only way to salvation. Let's go for it in this episode! PB
