Rod and Kale are joined by Paul
Vanderklay, pastor and YouTuber, to discuss Rod's latest project on
Enchantment.
Rod starts off with his story of Saint
Galgano and the sword in the stone as a way of laying out his new
project. These fantastic stories are the living testimony of the
very strange God and the stories of those men and women called to
bear witness. In Modernity, we have lost our ability to see fully
and as a result we live in the disenchanted world that delimits and
occludes the spirit. Any move towards re-enchantment must somehow
include the enlightenment, and thinkers like Iain McGilchrist
provide us a path back. In part, the recognition that "the whole
story" or the "subtraction story" of Charles Taylor is, too, a
myth.
They talk about Jordan Peterson as "the
unauthorized exorcist of the Gospel of Mark", Charles Taylor, Tonya
Luhrman, Blaise Pascal, Sam Harris, Dallas Willard, Michel
Houellebecq, BJ Campbell, Steve Skojec, and others.
A new podcast from The American Conservative, presented by Kale Zelden and bestselling author Rod Dreher, exploring faith, culture, and public affairs.
