The world today is like a ship with no anchor—adrift, lost, and tossed around by every new idea that comes along. We’ve abandoned truth, rewritten reality, and now we’re paying the price. Anxiety, confusion, and chaos are everywhere because we’ve got nothing solid to hold onto.That’s why Bobby Angel is here. His book, The Postmodern Predicament, tackles the big question: How did we get so lost, and how do we find our way back? We talk about why the world feels so unstable, how throwing out faith and reason led to this mess, and why beauty, truth, and tradition are the way forward.Bobby shares his own story—firefighter, seminarian, husband, father—and how wrestling with God’s plan led him exactly where he was meant to be. We break down the lies of postmodernism, the crisis of identity in today’s culture, and how to stand firm in a world that keeps shifting.If you’re tired of drifting and ready to drop anchor in something real, this episode is for you.
