About this episode

Matthew Hennessey discusses journalism, generational differences, and his personal journey back to faith with Bishop Frank.

Matthew Hennessey has written a book on "intergenerational warfare". But his day job is as Editor of Free Expression, a daily newsletter from the Wall Street Journal. Matthew joins Bishop Frank to talk about journalism, economics, the difference among generations & the importance of Gen X, and how his wife saved his life and brought him back to the Faith. "It was the intrusion of love that made all the difference," Bishop Frank remarked. I think you'll really enjoy this conversation... also: join us on June 19th to celebrate and support Veritas!
