Michelle Stirling is a writer and researcher whose works have appeared in various Canadian publications and cover a variety of topics of consequence. Michelle provides us with timely insights and facts around the history of Indian Residential Schools in Canada. We discuss the erroneous reports around "mass graves" and "genocide" in Canada and the resulting church burnings and waves of anti-Christian sentiment.

He has also written two books on the topic, and hosts a podcast and YouTube channel called Economy of Well-Being. We talk about Mark's journey of faith and how he discovered his calling to explore the well being of people through the lens of the Gospel.
