Jeff Landfield is a Unicorn - and he's good with that :-]

from "I'm Glad You Said That" - Jim Minnery Talks Faith & Politics

In a fun article in The Imaginative Conservative, that had me admiring C.S. Lewis more than I already did, we learn about how the Mere Christianity author emulated in his life what he wrote and spoke about so eloquently. From that article..."Lewis relished disagreement and debate. George Watson, who attended Lewis’s lectures at Oxford and later worked alongside him at Cambridge, recalls how “Lewis was a Christian conservative from around the age of thirty, which is to say before I knew him; and since I am neither one nor the other, there was never any question of doctrinal influence. If I was not exactly a friend, still less was I a disciple. That in no way altered my sense of admiration and affection…. We both thrived on dissent…. The best teacher I ever had, and the best colleague, he did not ask or expect me to share his convictions.”In that vein, I'm happy to have a discussion today with Jeff Landfield with The Alaska Landmine. Although we don't agree on everything, we have been acquaintances, you might even say friends, for a long while. I have called him a unicorn and he took to it. By that, I meant he doesn't fit into a box very neatly. Makes for interesting dialogue.I hope you can tune in.Support the show
