In this powerful episode, Vito Glazers sits down with Eric Metaxas, the bestselling author of Bonhoeffer, Miracles, If You Can Keep It, and Letter to the American Church. Known for his cultural influence through books, speaking engagements, and his thought-provoking platform, Socrates in the City, Eric explores life’s biggest questions with a mix of faith and intellect.
Eric shares how God has profoundly influenced every aspect of his work, from book writing to navigating his public shift to conservatism. In a moving moment, Eric recounts a dream in which God intervened and radically transformed his life overnight, giving him the courage to embrace his beliefs and share them boldly—despite the fear of being ostracized.
Vito and Eric discuss the challenges creators face in today’s politically charged environment, with Vito emphasizing the need to break free from political echo chambers. Together, they examine how the entertainment and media industries often infuse productions with partisan agendas, and Eric highlights how his books aim to bring conservative values and balance back into the cultural conversation.
As people grow hungrier for truth and authenticity in media, Eric encourages creators to "trust God much more radically than you do" and boldly share their stories, knowing that faith can guide and protect them.
This episode also highlights Letter to the American Church, Eric's latest book and accompanying film project in partnership with Turning Point USA, a call to action for believers to stand firm in their faith and make an impact in today’s culture.
