We continue our examination of Kanye West’s album, The Life of Pablo, with plenty of questions to walk through. Is Kanye torn between worldly and holy living, or is he burying his old life in Christ? Is there anything edifying about processing Kanye’s misogyny? And why is Saint Kim Kardashian, a ridiculous thought?
