Summary
Charlie welcomes friend of the show, thinker, patriot, public intellectual, and the author of his new memoir, "Fish Out of Water" to discuss his own faith journey and how he came to be one of the rarest of political and spiritual animals: a conservative Christian living in Manhattan who graduated from Yale. Former member to all of America's "elite" institutions, Eric explains how his faith journey, and God's providential intercession in his life, has led him down some of the most incredible, exciting, and unusual paths—and why those lessons are so applicable to the country, and the church, in this critical moment.
