The COVID-19 vaccine might be the technology of the year. But what is it about some new technologies that fuels fear? And where is faith? And are Chris & Adam going to get the vaccine? “If I get the COVID vaccine, am I failing to trust God?” Some Christians will be asking themselves this question. The vaccine has arrived faster than anyone could believe, and more effective than most doctors dared to hope. How did it happen so fast? And what makes this vaccine different than any vaccine in history? The COVID-19 vaccine is brand new in many ways, but it took 6 decades to create this vaccine in record time. Chris and Adam unpack the history and technology of mRNA, and the story of the woman behind it. And they dig deep into Scripture to look at what it means to trust God with what seems like a man-made miracle.
