| 0:00.0 | Well, welcome back to the podcast for Cultural Reformation. I'm Nate Wright, the Canadian Director of the Ezra Institute, and we are on location. |
| 0:26.4 | So we're here at the beautiful Rathfawn Inn in Port Colburn, right on Lake Uri. |
| 0:31.7 | If you could see the view outside this window, we're right on the lake, we're the World View Youth Academy where there's |
| 0:37.7 | 48 students here for the week, all being trained in worldview, cultural apologetics, |
