Send us a text You are in for a treat! The Road to Serfdom is a marvelous book that helps explain the impacts of collectivism and individualism colliding.

Without the foundations of morality that sustain our culture, I fear we can no longer continue to build but will inevitably start to tear down. I hope you enjoy The Road to...

Empty churches, forgotten books, broken families, and a culture drowning in distraction all point to the same reality. The breaking of the Western mind. In this podcast, we discuss the down...

If you read and listen to a book, you will have a deeper understanding of the book than you would have by just do...

The HARDEST BOOK I Ever Read and ... How ANYONE Can Read It
Send us a text Today we discuss the hardest book I have read, what I learned, and how anyone can read hard books.
