Hour 1: The Politically Incorrect Guide To Economics
Time to wise up. Think economics is the Dismal Science? No more! Hear the lowdown on the biases, superstitions, and outright falsehoods that permeate and corrupt economics and economic policy. Join us to discover the skinny on the poisonous effects of socialism and crony capitalism. Even better, listen to a clear-eyed explanation of how markets and economies work and how government intervention so often doesn’t, routinely makes things worse, and how it's usually the cause of economic crises in the first place.
Hour 2: Why Would Anyone Follow Jesus?
Of all the gods, gurus, and good people out there, why Jesus? Why follow some ancient carpenter-turned-philosopher from a podunk town in the Middle East? A man whose own people didn't believe in him for the most part. It just doesn't make any sense. Or does it? Today our guest will walk us through twelve persuasive reasons to believe that Jesus of Nazareth was who he said he was, did the things the Bible records him doing, and will explain why it matters to your life in the 21st century. If you struggle to articulate why you follow Jesus to your friends and family, or if you are a skeptic looking for some way to make sense of the whole Jesus thing, this conversation is for you.
