Dave \u201cVelvet Fog\u201d Van Vickle and I dive into history, culture, and politics (oh my!). We talk about three types of culture\u2014pre-Christian, Christian, and post-Christian\u2014and what Catholics can do to navigate the current political climate and evangelize in the culture without getting swept up in it.

We want to hear from you! Email us at eksb@ascensionpress.com with your story, question, or comment\u2014or if you\u2019ve got a new nickname for Dave.

Snippet from the Show
\n\u201cWhen you get rid of religion, all you have left is politics, and so politics becomes religion.\u201d
