    Sep 10 2022

    The multiplicity of recent shootings is deeply troubling and Americans nationwide are in turmoil over the question of so-called “common sense” gun legislation, the implementation of which is proving to be a very real possibility. But are proponents of such gun control laws addressing the real issue? Additionally, how does this question affect the way we discuss and propose legislation surrounding school and public shootings? Finally, how does the real issue, the problem of pain as inherent to the human condition, inform our resistance to the impending erasure of the individual genius?

  • Ep. 6 - Experiencing Romantic Love in a Broken Culture
    May 28 2022

    The most important thing we do as human beings is to seek “capital T” Truth. In order to find it, we must first make sense of the reality in which we exist. When we have both understood as much of the world and its Creator as we can and found that Truth, all that remains to be done is to live according to that Truth. We do so by learning what Andrew Klavan, novelist, renowned screenwriter, and Daily Wire political commentator, refers to as the “art of making sense.” That is, namely, saying what exactly we believe and have previously discovered to be the Truth and therefore mean what we say and therefore act in accordance with it and therefore be who we seem to be. Join Alexander as he explores how we experience romantic love, dating, and other interpersonal relationships within the context of our broken culture as well as how we can begin counteracting the noxious effects of the culture’s brokenness on those beautiful experiences by beginning to make sense to ourselves and to those with whom we share such intimate relationships!
