Reading Time: < 1 minute

In this, IFI’s final excerpt from the outstanding interview Derek Buikema, pastor of Orland Park Christian Reformed Church, conducted with Benedict Option author and blogger at the American Conservative, Rod Dreher, they discuss the critically important issue of anger. Pastor Derek asks Rod whether there is a place in the church for anger, and if so, what does that look like. Rod offers both a corrective and a warning about the place of anger in a society awash in grievous injustice and “defiling” wickedness being promoted even to children.

Please take four minutes to watch this excerpt, perhaps with family members with whom you can discuss the ideas Rod Dreher illuminates.
