What happens when we forget that behind the gorgeous redbud tree, the mesmerizing sunrise, and the exquisite infant child cradled in our arms is an ineffable God who loved them all into existence? We miss the sacramental in our lives and chase after honor, power, pleasure, and wealth, which are false infinites and sorry substitutes for God. Join Dr. Christopher West and me as we explore his book Eating the Sunrise, an examination of our hunger for beauty and the God who alone will satisfy it on The Evangelization & Culture Podcast.

In an age of identity politics and identity confusion, are we defined solely by race or sex, nationality or disability? Or are we something infinitely more? Join Fr. Gregory Pine and me as we explore our truest nature and our greatest selves in his new book, Your Eucharistic Identity, on The Evangelization & Culture Podcast.

We are all familiar with Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, featuring Ebenezer Scrooge and Marley's Ghost, Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim, the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. And yet, even so, every year, millions eagerly read the story, watch the film, or attend the play. Why does a 182-year-old English ghost story still captivate us today? In what way are we ourselves haunted by the temptation to selfishness in a world hungry for kindness and generosity? Join Professor Dwight Lindley and me as we explore the soaring heights and the profound depths found in A Christmas Carol on The Evangelization & Culture Podcast.

Why do most believe that religion is the root of most modern violence while secularism is our dispassionate protector? In Broken Altars: Secularist Violence in Modern History, we discover that Combative Secularism and Eliminationist Secularism have made brutal and furious attempts to marginalize, weaken, and destroy religious faith. Join Dr. Tod Worner and Professor Thomas Albert Howard on The Evangelization & Culture Podcast as they explore the dark history of political secularism and the ways in which religion, time and again, has been an unwitting victim and not an untrammeled aggressor.
