79: The Flag, the Cross, and the Station Wagon: Bill McKibben

What does it really mean to live a good life—in our politics, our faith, our work, and our relationships?

On No Small Endeavor with Lee C. Camp, we explore the ideas, practices, and public debates that shape human flourishing today. Each week you’ll hear thought-provoking conversations with bestselling authors, philosophers, neuroscientists, psychologists, theologians, artists, and political leaders—people wrestling with the biggest questions of meaning and purpose in our time.

Together we ask:

How can religion be a force for healing instead of division?

What does neuroscience reveal about happiness, habits, and productivity?

Where do politics and justice meet the pursuit of the common good?

How do truth, beauty, and goodness help us live well—personally and collectively?

If you care about faith, politics, social justice, science, or the search for meaning, you’ll find courageous, practical conversations here. Because pursuing a meaningful life is no small endeavor—and we’re with you on the road.
