Steve, in last Sunday's message, alluded to two people of inspiration to him in his spiritual walk.
The first is Somalian born Dutch politician and American writer, activist, and conservative thinker Ayaan Hirsi Ali. She has written numerous books bravely standing up to the subjugation of women in her childhood culture, recently converting to Christianity. Her dialogue with former atheist colleagues, namely Richard Dawkins, is compelling and worth looking up on YouTube.
The second public figure of inspirational interest is Canadian psychologist, author and media commentator, Jordan Petersen. Petersen is a self-described classical liberal and traditionalist who supports health care, redistribution of wealth towards the poor, and has made a significant contribution to the emotional health of young men.
Steve recommends looking up both these people on YouTube and added the late Charlie Kirk as well for good measure. Amazing dialogue with contemporary apologists and Christian thinkers addressing issues relevant to us all in these compelling times.
