Mar 28, 2026 2:14 PM

What is it like to engage the culture on a college campus through philosophy? Watch as Bruce McCluggage, Philosophy Instructor at Pike’s Peak Community College, shares firsthand what it is like to be On Call in munity college Culture as he interacts with students in the classroom, within philosophy club discussion groups and even at an atheist conference.

Watch as Bruce explains how philosophy presents an amazing opportunity to be . . .

On Call Through Philosophy

Next Bruce talks about “encouraging 4000 conversations” as he challenges his students to get to know what those around them believe. This then es a wonderful open door to see His students engage with the Truth.

Opening Doors

In this segment Bruce shares what it was like to attend a large Atheist conference held in Washington DC as the sponsor of his college’s Atheist Club. He was On Call in Culture in one of the most unlikely places.

On Call Among Atheists

In our final segment with Bruce, he shares what it is like to challenge students to be bridge builders instead of wall builders. As he shares Truth through his teaching, he is seeing some amazing opportunities through a very innovative “roving philosophy club” model.

Seeing God at Work

As you get to know Bruce and his heart to be On Call in Culture on his campus, how does his story inspire you in your efforts to show up when God calls?

Acton Commentary: The State of the Fourth Estate
Edmund Burke: "...in the Reporters' Gallery yonder, there sat a Fourth Estate more important far than they all."In today’s Acton Commentary, “The State of the Fourth Estate,” I argue that the profession of journalism must be separable from traditional print media. My alma mater’s flagship student publication, The State News, where I broke into the ranks of op-ed columnists, celebrated its centennial anniversary earlier this month. The economics of news media increasingly make it seem as if the few kinds...
PBR: Nonprofits and New Media
In response to the question, “What form will journalism take in the age of new media?” I came across this Reuters story highlighting a proposal to allow newspapers to file for nonprofit status. The legislation was put forward by Maryland Senator Benjamin Cardin, (D-Md.) and he suggests the nonprofit action could be a possible solution for munity minded newspapers. I’ll let somebody with more expertise regarding print journalism take a crack at the deeper consequences of such an action, but...
A High Calling: The Work of an Entrepreneur
A recent article by the John Locke Foundation’s Michael Moore (no, not the filmmaker) does a good job of outlining the calling of entrepreneurs. He makes a very positive mention of Acton, Fr. Sirico, and The Call of the Entrepreneur. The full article can be read here. Here’s an excerpt: If you ask someone on the street today what they think is a humble and worthwhile profession, they might say a doctor, teacher, missionary, fireman, munity organizer. Now those are...
Wilcox: God Will Provide — Unless the Government Gets There First
In a recent Wall Street Journal column, W. Bradford Wilcox looks at the “boost” that President Obama will give secularism through his rapid expansion of government. An Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Virginia and a member of the James Madison Society at Princeton University, Wilcox is also a 1994 graduate of the Acton Institute’s Toward a Free and Virtuous Society program. Excerpt: … the president’s audacious plans for the expansion of the government — from the stimulus...
Looming Spiritual Foreclosure
It’s not quite gotten to the point of robbing Peter to pay Paul, at least not yet, but following the spate of foreclosures on residential mercial properties, you can expect another rash of foreclosures on church buildings across the country. There are a number of factors that will contribute to this phenomenon. In no particular order: In many churches the same people who overbought McMansions run the church’s finances. They wanted to be fortable at church as they are (or...
PBR: Who Will Read It?
In response to the question, “What form will journalism take in the age of new media?”, a quick thought, speculative and devoid of adequate substantiation. I’ve heard a lot of worrying about what will take the place of newspapers and news magazines as their decline continues. My worrying runs in a different direction. I plete faith that what the market demands the market will supply. I don’t pretend to know exactly what form it will take, but I’m confident that...
Cole on “Patent Failure”
Back in September I posted an announcement about a new book that contributed in interesting ways to our understanding of patent/intellectual property issues. Now Julio Cole’s full review of the book in the Independent Review is available online. An excerpt: Should we really be surprised that the patent system’s internal dynamics have finally brought us to the point at which the potential profits of patenting have, for most industries, been entirely gobbled up by lawyers’ fees? Isn’t that e what...
James B. Stockdale on Public Virtue
Last night I was reading Thoughts of A Philosophical Fighter Pilot by Jim Stockdale (1923-2005). The book is a collection of Stockdale’s speeches and essays over the years. So much of his well thought out writings are words to live by and definitely worth sharing. Here is a timely quote from an essay titled “On Public Virtue” written in 1988: Those who study the rise and fall of civilizations learn that no ing has been surely fatal to republics as...
PBR: Journalism and New Media
Last week I wrote that “The ethical standards connected with journalism as a profession have arisen out of centuries-long practice and reflection,” and that “To abandon these standards in the rush to new media would impoverish public discourse to the detriment of us all.” (I develop some related points at length in an panying blog post). I also asserted that “Professional journalism must be present for a free society to flourish, and it is in the pursuit of this calling...
Acton Commentary: Davos Capitalism: Adam Smith’s Nightmare
Davos capitalism, managerial capitalism run by a transnational elite, has lost faith in free markets. But these technocrats and politicians still believe that they, and only they, possess the solutions that will “fix” global markets. “We have tried the illusory third way — it is called Davos — and it has failed,” Michael Miller writes. Read mentary over at the Acton Website ment on it here. ...
