Welcome to the podcast Think Bivocally, Conversations on Faith and Culture.

I'm your host Sean McDow, Professor of Apologetics at Talbot School of Theology

Biola University. And I'm your co-host Scottology, Biola University.

And I'm your co-host, Scott Ray,

Dean of Faculty and Professor of Christian Ethics,

also at Talbot School of Theology,

Biola University.

Well, today, since it's Halloween,

we wanted to do a unique show with somebody who has a very interesting perspective on youth culture.

Rather than just talk about demons and the occult and some of the conversations that are important to come up.

We want to talk about is this really a trend within culture today and within kind of

student culture? How big of a deal is the occult? Should we be concerned? Where do we see it

manifested? Etc. And when you talk about student culture and how to analyze

culture, I don't know anybody better than my friend Walt Mueller.

He is the founder and president of the Center for Parent Youth Understanding,

which is a non-profit organization serving schools, churches,

and communities across the US, Canada, and worldwide.

It is one of my go-to organizations to just kind of get my finger, so to speak, on the pulse of

what's happening in culture.

So, Walt, thanks so much for joining us.

Thanks. Before we get to students and kind of questions related to the occult, I want to

know more broadly, how do you approach culture as a map and a mirror?
