YouTube description

How do you approach conflict? Rationally? Emotionally? Or do you approach disagreement with your whole heart? As C.S. Lewis pointed out, modern society is in the habit of producing "men without chests" - people who are morally and intellectually malformed or incomplete. If Christians are to improve our public presence, we must recover what Lewis called, "The Chest." The Chest, Lewis says, is magnanimity. And magnanimity is a sustained and disciplined love for the good.
