Welcome to the Kalos Center Podcast where we have conversations about faith, culture, and meaningful lives. One of the show's central themes is how Christians in any profession integrate their faith with what they do...how their faith has legs in their work. We'll interview Christians from a variety of fields, scientists, philosophers, investors, artists, politicians, musicians, athletes, and many more. Folks like JP Moreland, most influential Christian Apologist of today, David Baunsen, a top financial advisor in the US and Eric Johnson, founder of the Christian Psychology Institute will join us!
Every episode of the Kalos Center podcast is not only informative, showing how our guests' work provides important insights and services for human flourishing, but also personally inspiring as we see how their work is a vital part of a fascinating faith journey. It will give you a better understanding of why the Christian faith makes sense and makes a practical difference for all of us.

Bringing Back Forgotten Disciplines To Grow Spiritually- An Interview with Jim Spiegel
As we transition the podcast host from Jim Spiegel to Jay Hawthorne, the new Executive Director of The Kalos Center, we thought it would be fun to hear from Jim Spiegel about his work and his thoughts on the state of spiritual growth in our churches today. They cover growing in wisdom, spiritual warfare, and the integration of our faith into our daily lives. Jim reminds us that critical thinking about our faith is imperative in this culture, and that to be an effective witness for Christ, we need to soak our roots in the Lord through the spiritual disciplines such as bible study, fasting, prayer, and serving.
