Do you remember a world before masks and social distancing? We certainly do. As we inch closer to America's upcoming presidential election, it's important to exercise the power of our memory for the good and not for evil. Memory is meant to bless us, not to haunt us.

Sign up for our upcoming livestream concert with Kevin Heider at http://lovegoodlive.com.

While the Church has always been an expert in engaging culture rather than running away from it, what does that look like in a post-modern world? This week, Jimmy and Fr.

2000 years later, a clearly identifiable Christian culture doesn't exist anywhere in the West.

In a world that's slipping further into anxiety and uncertainty by the day, what does it mean to call a place your home? During this week's episode, Jimmy and Jason conclude our 5-week bonus series by breaking open G.K. Chesterton's passionate plea for the importance of place. Many people think that you have to leave home to find who you are, but Chesterton argues that identity overflows from your sense of belonging. In a world that's increasingly disconnected and disintegrated, today's episode empowers you to reclaim your providence of place and love where you call home.
