Amazing talk on Chesterton & the family, very important and much needed today.
When you said your brother-in-laws name...I screamed and thought..."Spirit in the Sky"...
A heart moving..!! eye opener to the life of G K Chesterton.. I am a true advocate for the teachings of this man of God...!!
I love Ahlquist’s passion and personality. His book “Common Sense, 101” is astoundingly good. So lucky to have a such a one among us.
Marvellous talk!
"Marriage and religion cannot be based on a mood, it has to be based on commitment " Yesss! Thank you for putting it into words so perfectly. God bless GK Chesterton and Dale Ahlquist for this terrific lecture.

I have loved the writings of GK Chesterton for decades. I can’t even remember when I started reading him.😊

Chesterton was fighting for us
Jordan Peterson should interview you like he has been people in the past couple of months who have a keen perspective on human flourishing and today's political mayhem.
