Personalist Manifesto(s) hosts conversations inspired by the personalist thought and action of Jacques Ellul and Bernard Charbonneau. If you've never heard about personalism, Ellul, or Charbonneau, don't worry! This is the place to hear about all three and more. At the end of the day, it's all about revolution: a contemplative revolution that (re)humanizes rather than de-humanizes people. So what are you waiting for? Join the contemplative revolution!

Smaller Politics - A Conversation with Jeff Wheeldon

Initially, my childhood friend Jeff Wheeldon thought he was going to be a pastor. Then, he thought he was going to be a theology professor. But then, he ended up in politics. Some of you may be excited to hear I’m interviewing a Christian who happens to be in politics. Some of you might get a little skittish. If you’re in the latter category, stick with us. I think you’ll find that Jeff is breaking the mold in terms of what it means to be a Christian in politics. We talk about theology, politics, political theology, and… swans. Note: Because Personalist Manifesto(s) strives to be non-partisan, it is important to mention that this conversation is not a political ad or endorsement. It’s simply one friend speaking to another about the above topics.

Bio

Jeff Wheeldon loves his family, playing tabletop games with his friends and kids, and managing complex systems to make a better world. He paints miniatures, is working on his first novel, and serves as a municipal councillor in Brighton, Ontario. He's a big fan of Jesus, and is learning to love himself and everyone else too.
