11:58Now PlayingRod Dreher moved home to rural Louisiana to be near family — and lost his health, his marriage, and his family in the process. In this conversation, he answers the question young Christian men keep asking: what do you do when the world offers no hope and nihilism looks like the only honest option?

Dreher tells Jeremy Boreing about his "nostos" journey home, the rejection by his own father that left him with four years of chronic illness, and the moment reading Dante's Divine Comedy revealed that he had made idols of family, place, and his dad. He talks about what really happened in Orban's Hungary, why the reforms didn't hold, and how he came to believe that "the only real Ithaca is heaven."
He also shares the story of St. Demetrios of Thessaloniki — the Roman soldier martyr — and the icon and vial of myrrh he personally gave to Vice President JD Vance, along with the prayer he offered for him.
His advice to young men: get offline, go back to the classics, go back to the church, read the lives of the saints, and learn how to suffer well — because "if you don't learn how to suffer well, it can wreck you, or cause you to wreck the lives of many others."
