In this episode, Glenn and I talk about the profound impact of Christianity on Western values, the personal journeys that lead someone to faith, and the cultural shifts that have resulted in a meaning crisis, why it is important to understand the Christian story as foundational to human rights and societal values, how the Christian narrative provides a unique protection against tyranny and offers a framework for understanding human dignity and responsibility in a rapidly changing world and much, much more.

Glen was a delight to speak to. He's deeply engaging and he balances history and theology in a way anyone can understand but without diluting the message. In fact, he has this uncanny ability to be able to make something simply understood while giving the listener a sense of the depth of the message he's trying to convey. There was much more to say yet time and indeed Glenn's responsibility to pick his children up from school meant we'll have to resume our conversation in the future.
