Faith in Every Footnote • Season 2026, Episode 10Aug 31, 2026 • 44m
Can an engineer carry a technical problem to the Lord the way the brother of Jared carried sixteen stones up Mount Shelem? Aaron Franklin, the Edmund T. Pratt Jr. Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and senior associate dean in the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University, explores what discipleship to Jesus Christ looks like in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Drawing on The Spiritual Physics of Light and What Is Truth?, he connects scripture with polar coordinates, light emitting diode circuits, carbon nanotubes, and the humility to place our best work in God’s hands.
