## Resource

Carl and Todd welcome philosopher J. Budziszewski to discuss his insightful new book, The Pandemic of Lunacy: How to Think Clearly When Everyone Around You Seems Crazy. They delve into the current societal confusion surrounding morality, ethics, and identity, exploring the philosophical underpinnings of these issues. The confusion in the society has caused us to dig deeper and to think more thoroughly about these things, but the desire to perpetuate the lunacy has also caused the other side to dig deeper and come up with much more elaborate justifications. – J. Budziszewski With a blend of humor and serious inquiry, the conversation reveals how the church can respond to contemporary challenges with clarity and conviction. We were pleased to award three listeners a copy of Pandemic of Lunacy, authored by J. Budziszewski. Congratulations to Daniel F. from Elizabethton, TN, Kevin A. from Bakersfield, CA, and Catherine N. from Chillicothe, OH! Show Notes: Creed & Culture Publishing: https://creedandculture.com/
