  • 629: Dr. Peter Kreeft - 10 Lies Our Culture Tells Us
    Jan 22 2026

    Ben speaks with author, speaker, and professor of philosophy at Boston College, Dr. Peter Kreeft.

    Drawing from his now-famous commencement address at the Franciscan University of Steubenville, exposing the “ten lies” of modern culture, Dr. Kreeft reflects on identity, freedom, creativity, and the consequences of a world that has tried to live without God.

    With his characteristic blend of sharp logic, humor, and humility, he challenges the assumptions of secular humanism while making a compelling case for common sense, rationality, and the enduring power of the Christian worldview.

    Jan 16 2026

    Jackie Hill Perry gets radically honest about striving, identity, and why Christian ambition so often masquerades as holiness.

  • 627: Should I Quit TV? (The Hidden Impact of What You Watch)
    Jan 13 2026

    As Christians, we say we follow Christ, yet we don’t always pause to ask how that commitment informs what we watch.

    In this solo episode, Ben shares how David's health scare made James 4:13–17 feel painfully real, and why “arrogant self-sufficiency” is often the sin beneath our confident plans
