Summary
Scott and Caleb Keith join Adam Francisco to discuss the life of C.S. Lewis and the docudrama The Most Reluctant Convert, which revolves around Lewis's life and conversion to Christianity.

Today, there is an ever-growing need for friendships that evolve past nicety and into the realm of substance and intellectual challenge.
