What can we do to thrive in turmoil? Rod Dreher joins us on the podcast today to talk about his book, “Live Not By Lies”, and the courage it takes to stand firm in a post-Christian culture. Rod points out that being courageous includes telling true and good stories, showing hospitality, and not being afraid to look different from those around us as followers of Jesus.
