Impossible Love (Part 2) with Guests Craig Keener and Médine Moussounga Keener

When the odds are impossible, love goes to work. Dr. Craig Keener, a respected scholar, was cautious after a broken relationship. Médine, a well-educated African woman, met Craig through a campus ministry and the two became friends. Long after they parted for their respective worlds, Craig realized his love for her and began the arduous--and often supernatural--journey to be reunited. Médine faced terror and disease as a refugee in the war-torn Congo. Their tender story of love beating the odds inspires others to believe that God's own great love for each of us will always overcome.
