## Resource

Join Joshua and Eric Black as they discuss how each of their spiritual conversions came in a time in their lives when exploration of classical texts opened their minds to truth in deeper ways. They further their discussion sharing their experience in the private sector and how an education in the liberal arts with an understanding of philosophy and theology is more beneficial for successful business than any business degree could be.
