In this episode, Chris Michaels sits down with Dr. Owen Anderson, a tenured Christian philosopher whose work focuses on natural theology, ethics, and the foundations of truth.

Throughout the conversation, Dr. Anderson explores how philosophical reasoning intersects with modern culture, particularly where questions of truth, morality, marriage, and the role of the state collide. The discussion examines tensions between Christian philosophical traditions and contemporary secular assumptions, and how those tensions play out in everyday life and public discourse.

Rather than debating personalities or politics, this episode centers on first principles: how we define truth, why moral frameworks matter, and what happens when societies abandon shared foundations. The conversation is thoughtful, measured, and aimed at helping listeners better understand the deeper philosophical roots beneath today’s cultural conflicts.

This is a reflective dialogue for listeners interested in faith, philosophy, ethics, and cultural analysis, and for anyone asking not just what is happening in society, but why.
