In this episode, we talk about Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson. Peterson rose to fame in 2016 with a resistance to progressive academic culture, lectures on the pscyhological significance of biblical stories, and the best-selling book "12 Rules for Life."
Why are young people - especially young men - drawn to a scholar like this?
We talk with Joseph, an atheist philosophy major who converted to Christianity. Joseph turned toward Christian faith, not in spite of, but because he was drawn more deeply into ideas and truth, and this path included a major influence by Peterson, who is not a Christian.
Join us for this fascinating conversation about today's campus culture, critical theory, and a great conversion story.
