- I talk with Sam Samson about his Thesis, that the current political discourse has corrupted a certain view of conservatism. We talk about a view of conservatism as something outside the current political discourse that is a disposition to preserve the institutions that are essential to human flourishing. We focus on the church and family and how sacrificial love can renew and preserve these institutions.

This Week, I have Zach Springer on to talk about the Christian Symbolism of Batman and Joker. We talk about how Batman and Joker represent two fundamentally different responses to the problem of evil. The path of Batman is the path of Christ and the taking on of the cross to bring redemption and renewal. The path of Joker is the path of Satan and to curse the goodness of creation and to work to destroy it.
