Flannery O’Connor, the American novelist and essayist, was born on March 25, 1925. She was a faithful Catholic whose stories reflected the darkness of the human condition yet always resolved redemptively. Yet many Christians may be shocked by many of the elements of her writing, a intentional act on O’Connor’s part intended to wake up her readers.

On the Centenary of her birth it was my honor to have as my guest for a full the esteemed Flannery O’Connor scholar Dr. Ralph Wood, Emeritus University Professor of Theology and Literature at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, where he taught from 1998-2021. Dr. Wood is the author of two books on O’Connor:

Flannery O’Connor and the Church Made Visible: A Revolutionary Witness for the Sake of the Gospel

Flannery O’Connor and the Christ-Haunted South

Here is the audio of my hour-long conversation with Dr. Wood on March 25, 2025:

Why were we so willing to acquiesce to the draconian lockdowns imposed on us by what Michael Brendan Dougherty at National Review called “the Absolute Sovereignty of Liberal Professional Class Conventional Thinking”? And where is the outrage today over everything that was taken away from us by the elites who lied to us for almost three years?

Dr. Phil Magness, Senior Fellow and David J. Theroux Chair in Political Economy at Independent Institute, has produced an excellent history of how pandemics over the previous century were handled, concluding that our government “…set aside a century of knowledge for the fashionable and flashy promise of a plan, asking not whether its imagined design will ever work.”

I spoke with Dr. Magness about his essay on The Paul Edwards Program on Wednesday, March 26, 2025. Listen below:

In this episode of the Recovering the Christian Mind podcast, Paul takes us to the Bible to build on what Dr. R. C. Sproul said about marriage:

“…if you want to have an excellent marriage, the first thing you have to be prepared to do is to work, and to work hard. Because excellent marriages in this day and age, when almost 50% of marriages in this country dissolve in divorce and a whole lot more are extremely unhappy and provide a miserable atmosphere for the home in general, if you want to transcend the normal in this country, you’re going to have to be prepared to work at it, because it doesn’t come naturally.”
