The Man Who Shot Himself

Kevin and Bill discuss the importance of ideas, worldview, and art in culture. Tom T. Hall, a country singer and a nihilist, wrote a song entitled “The Man Who Shot Himself,” then ended up shooting himself and committing suicide over 40 years after the song came out. Ideas are powerful things. The habits and patterns that are set in younger years will affect the later years of our lives. This is why it is vital that we remember and fear God in the days of our youth, and separate ourselves from self-destructive art, lest we move into despair and nihilism.

Author, pastor, podcaster, husband, father, and grandfather, Kevin Swanson, enters the arena with the takeaway word for the day.  Strong.
