Great guy. Erwin is a (very progressive and open-minded) pastor at a very unconventional church in Los Angeles. Hosts a weekly podcast with his son, Aaron.

Wow I've now watched about 12h of those Adam Curtis documentaries and they are spectacular! Thanks so much for the share I didn't even know he existed before. The silent series on the Soviet Union was awesome.

Happy to hear that! 

What I love about them is that he mostly uses archive footage and this makes for a really relateable experience of the specific time, he speaks about.

This one seems good 

For motivation
