The Fight For America's Soul | Mike D'Virgilio | Ep #46

Explore the crossroads of faith, philosophy, and fiery political discourse. Join us as we sit down with Mike D'Virgilio, the man who's not just talking about change, but living it. Mike peels back the layers on the ideas pulling our nation apart and unveils why Christian nationalism isn’t what you think it is. He challenges believers to step boldly into politics and culture, forging unexpected alliances and championing discipleship across all spheres of influence. This eye-opening conversation promises to challenge your views and ignite your passion for faith in action!

Mike has a B.S. in Communication from Arizona State University and an M.A. in Systematic Theology from Westminster Theological Seminary Philadelphia. He is a Christian blogger, apologist. He’s written several great books, including the one where our topics are coming from on this episode: “Going Back To Find The Way Forward: Trump. A Great Awakening And The Refounding Of America.”
