More Christ Episode Eighty-Five: Paul Kingsnorth and Paul Vander Klay: God, Identity, Idolatry, Taboos, Religion, Masculinity, & More

Welcome to More Christ. We seek to bring some of the world's most interesting and insightful guests to discuss life's central and abiding questions.  In this special eighty fifth episode in a series of discussions, I'm joined by Paul Kingsnorth and Paul Vander Klay.    Paul Kingsnorth is an English writer who lives in the west of Ireland. He is a former deputy-editor of The Ecologist and a co-founder of the Dark Mountain Project.  Kingsnorth's nonfiction writing tends to address macro themes like environmentalism, globalisation, and the challenges posed to humanity by civilisation-level trends. His fiction tends to be mythological and multi-layered.   Follow him here:   https://www.paulkingsnorth.net/  https://paulkingsnorth.substack.com/  Paul Vander Klay is the pastor of Living Stones Christian Reformed Church in Sacramento, California, USA, and host of a marvellous YouTube Channel which wrestles with being a Christian in a secular age, the struggle for ultimate meaning, identity, and more.   He has worked at length to share and critique insights from Jordan Peterson, Jonathan Pageau, and other figures to a worldwide audience, adding his own unique contributions, and somehow producing videos at a prolific rate without diluting quality.  If you'd like to learn more about Paul and his work, please see the links below:    https://www.youtube.com/user/paulvand...  https://paulvanderklay.me/
