About This Podcast

Welcome to the Kalos Center Podcast where we have conversations about faith, culture, and meaningful lives. One of the show's central themes is how Christians in any profession integrate their faith with what they do...how their faith has legs in their work. We'll interview Christians from a variety of fields, scientists, philosophers, investors, artists, politicians, musicians, athletes, and many more. Folks like JP Moreland, most influential Christian Apologist of today, David Baunsen, a top financial advisor in the US and Eric Johnson, founder of the Christian Psychology Institute will join us! Every episode of the Kalos Center podcast is not only informative, showing how our guests' work provides important insights and services for human flourishing, but also personally inspiring as we see how their work is a vital part of a fascinating faith journey. It will give you a better understanding of why the Christian faith makes sense and makes a practical difference for all of us. So click the subscribe button and join us.
