Bobby Jindal made the decision not to go to Harvard for medicine nor to Yale for law although he was accepted by both universities. Instead, he went to Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar and majored in political science. A convert to the Catholic Faith from Hinduism, Jindal has found a way to integrate the full truth about Christ into his duties as a public servant.
He was twice elected to Congress, and has been the Governor of Louisiana since 2008. On June 24, 2015, he entered the race to become President of the United States.
In this edition of the podcast, Jindal talks with me about the role of faith in public life, why he doesn’t like hyphenated ethnic labels, and what it’s like dealing with running for president as filtered and interpreted—and often snubbed—by the leftist media industry. Something you didn’t know about Bobby Jindal: he penned a terrific essay on the Oxford Movement in the September 1994 issue of This Rock magazine.
