John Lennox on What He Knows at 82

What a renowned 82-year-old Christian mathematician has to say about a life well lived. Watch this conversation on YouTube For decades, Oxford mathematics professor emeritus John Lennox has stood in lecture halls, debate stages, and university classrooms making the case that Christianity is not a retreat from serious thought but an invitation into it. He has debated some of the world’s best-known skeptics, from Richard Dawkins to Christopher Hitchens. He taught mathematics at Oxford. He smuggled Christian teaching behind the Iron Curtain. And now, in his eighties, with his health declining and his world physically growing smaller, he has written a memoir looking back on the strange providences that shaped his life. In his new autobiography, My Story: A spiritual and intellectual autobiography, Professor Lennox reflects on growing up amid sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland, actually hearing C. S. Lewis lecture at Cambridge (literally!), being followed by the KGB, and learning over time that saying “I don’t know” can sometimes open deeper doors than feigning certainty. If you’ve ever wondered whether intellectual seriousness and deep Christian conviction can actually coexist alongside tenderness and joy, step into the classroom: the professor is in.

Happy 250th Birthday to an Imperfect Nation

We are Americans best when we are not Americans first. Watch this episode on YouTube In this special Fourth of July episode, Russell revisits conversations with Ken Burns, Eddie Glaude Jr., Michael Luo, Jon Guerra, Yuval Levin, Sharon McMahon, and Jon Meacham to ask what faithful citizenship looks like in an anxious and divided age. Guests in these conversations explore America's founding, its failures, the difference between patriotism and nationalism, the place of immigrants and strangers, the danger of political idolatry, and why Christians must resist both cynicism and sentimentalism. If our ultimate citizenship is in the kingdom of God, perhaps that's precisely what frees us to tell the truth, love our neighbors, and seek the good of the country we've inherited—with gratitude, humility, and hope.
