Description

Gregg II takes up the title of Vital Remnants once more to continue the mission of serving the future by remembering, thinking about, and learning from the great thinkers of the past. Join Dr. Gregg as he guides listeners through some of the most important texts in human history.

Vital Remnants from our shared past await to inspire, encourage, and teach us today just as they changed the world we have inherited.
