A story from the trenches of parenthood was the inspiration for this week’s episode, where Mike talks about:

  • Re-watching the John Hughes 1984 classic 16 Candles (but only the first half hour)

  • The rise of Christendom… and the influence of the Enlightenment in its decline

  • The inversion of vice and virtue

  • How our moral compasses are “programmed”

  • How to begin to re-program your moral compass this Advent
