About this Episode
Today we have the pleasure of having David Gornoski! David is the host of “ a neighbors choice “ in central Florida. a show that looks at politics, science, and culture through the lens of Jesus’ personhood revolution. The show airs by radio - he also has an exclusive podcast on line and film series called THINGS HIDDEN, David has interviewed personalities like Ron Paul, Jordan Peterson, and Slavoj Žižek. David has also written multiple essays and columns promoting Jesus’ nonviolent ethos and personhood revolution for publications such as DailyCaller, Townhall, American Conservative, and FEE.
I personally found him on Uberboyos podcast where he elucidated key points critiquing the western church ( all in love guys ) while expertly navigating Uber boys Nietzschen philosophy and remedying the fallout present Therein. Points on recognizing Christian scapegoating and other furtive habits of the church were discussed. David has a fundamental approach that brings the abstract Jesus into a more vital incarnation- all this without dismissing the abstract but honing the focus to appropriate action and progress in the church.
