Introducing Warren Mills

Warren was the bloke who brought me to Australia and set up the Jordan Peterson Phenomenon conference in Melbourne in March of 2019. Warren is a wonderful example of a man who has lived his life as a thinking Christian layman. You'll find in this conversation a whole list of thinkers that he has learned from as he's worked out his salvation. We'll be doing some other conversations on his book and his thought as it develops.
