In this episode, host Phil Tower welcomes back Michael Wildschut, director of the January Series at Calvin University.

Michael joins the program for a preview of the 2026 January Series, presented by and hosted at Calvin University.
For nearly 40 years, people have been showing up from all walks of life, ready to be challenged, enlightened, and connected to something far beyond themselves.

This year’s lineup of speakers will no doubt challenge and enlighten, and inspire attendees both in person and online.
By promoting education, civic engagement, and open inquiry, The January Series at Calvin University has been growing a community of lifelong learners who don’t want to be passive observers but active participants in creating a better, more inspired, more inclusive world.

This year's January Series begins on Monday, January 19, and runs through Friday, January 30th.
The January Series lectures are available to watch live in person or on-demand the day of the event.
