So welcome, Ethan.

Well, thanks for that, John.

And this is a topic and a cause that is actually very close to my heart because I wrestled a lot with nihilism as a young person.

And I mean, I just turned 35 last week, so I'm officially not a youth anymore.

You are officially middle-aged.

Yes, I am.

And I have to also appreciate you, John, because I think a lot of the work that you've done helped me to come out of a place where the nihilistic worldview was all that I was really encountering day by day.

It's an opportunity to get a breath of fresh air on these two interlocking issues, nihilism, the meeting crisis, and the related dimension of the advent of the sacred.
