I feel like a lot of you do: Politically homeless. Spiritually thirsty. Financially and relationally fragile. Life in the mid-21st century has left many of us feeling lost and yearning for belonging. You're not alone. To make sense of our moment, I talk with writers, historians, educators, innovators, friends, and family about current events, political philosophy, history, family, and faith to strive for change — within ourselves, our communities, and our nation. I examine news and culture from a Christian libertarian perspective to understand today's divisions. From there, I want to envision a more optimistic and prosperous tomorrow through political and cultural action that embraces mercy. Subscribe to be a part of something different.

Javier Milei Is Elected in Argentina. Is He The First Elected Anarco-Capitalist in History to A Major Office?
Javier Milei is the new President-Elect of Argentina. Milei is known for his brash style of politics, but undergirding that is a solid belief in anarch-capitalist, libertarian, and Austrian economic philosophies. Austin Petersen of the Wake Up America Show on Rumble invited me on to discuss the highest elected libertarian in history.

Antisemitism on U.S. Campuses After the Hamas Attacks in Israel, Plus Student Loan Reforms with Neetu Arnold
I speak with Neetu Arnold, Research Fellow at the National Association of Scholars and a Young Voices contributor, about the recent responses of U.S. colleges to the attacks by Hamas on Israel on October 7th. We discuss the hesitancy of these universities to condemn the attacks, which has led to backlash from many major donors. We also delve into the issue of student loan reform under Joe Biden's administration and explore the trade-offs involved in these reforms.
