Reading Time: < 1 minute

IFI was honored to have English professor Anthony Esolen as one of our esteemed speakers at our banquet in September 2015. Professor Esolen spoke eloquently, soberly, and politically incorrectly about the state of American culture—or lack thereof. Following the banquet he sat down with Derek Buikema, pastor of preaching and worship at Orland Park Christian Reformed Church, for a bracing interview on the corrupt state of our culture and the toxic environment we call public education.

We have two video versions for your consideration. Our short “preview” video is three minutes long and can be viewed HERE.

The full video can be viewed HERE. So get a cup of hot chocolate and cozy blanket and enjoy a half-hour of scintillating conversation with Professor Esolen. And if you enjoy it, please consider sharing it with your friends.
