Have you ever undergone a period of exile in your life? In the Old Testament, the people of Israel were taken into exile, with some tribes becoming entirely assimilated into other nations. Is this sense of exile something we can relate to today? Do we occasionally find ourselves lost in the surrounding culture? Sister Alicia Torres joins Jeff Cavins to discuss the Exile time period in the Old Testament and contemporary forms of exile, such as fractured relationships, addiction, and a loss of faith.
