For Episode #100, Ken welcomes back Co-Founder and President of Culture Connection, Inc., Scott Young. To celebrate, the two focus on finding the sacred in the most unlikely places. They follow Scott's career, from a period of spiritual and intellectual awakenings in his hometown of Escondido, CA. From there, Scott completes college and seminary to become a chaplain on several major university campuses. We talk about influencers like Vernon Grounds (then President of Denver Seminary), Harvey Cox, theologians Barth and Brunner, African American Evangelist, Tom Skinner, social justice advocate, and evangelical Rene Padilla, Urbana conferences in the 1970s, Bill Pannell at Fuller Theological Seminary, The City of Angels Film Festival, Andy Warhol, Martin Sheen, film critic Sister Rose Pacatte and Ralph Winter of X-Men and Fantastic Four fame. Finally, they catch up on Scott's journey since our first interview - remembering his son Josh. SHOW NOTES

In 1965, a young Harvard professor became the best-selling voice of secularism in America with his book The Secular City. He sees the old thinking in the “new atheism” of figures like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. The either/or debates between religion and atheism, he says, obscure the truly interesting interplay between faith and other forms of knowledge that is unfolding today.
