Dr. Christopher Watkin is a Christian scholar, author, and professor renowned for his works in the intersections of philosophy, theology, and culture.

In this episode we dive into the tension between unchecked hedonism and rigid self-control, revealing how both paths ultimately crush the human spirit and lead to despair without a higher integrating force. Drawing from biblical wisdom and critiquing modern thinkers like Jordan Peterson, Chris unpacks why our fragmented selves and polarised societies struggle with sharing a common good, fueling everything from personal meaning crises to cultural wars.
