244 Eyes Wired for Meaning? The Gaze

Have you ever wondered how eyesight works? Jordan Peterson explored that on a recent podcast of his own, but went deeper by asking, “how and why do we continually find meaning at work in life?” Do we only see the raw data of life? Or do we instead only see the meaning that we want to see? I take Peterson’s questions and work them through more resolutely Christian lenses to perceive the magic at work in reality. I also offer some reflections on the history and bio of Anthony Fauci, as well as the palpable resistance to changing the official establishment narrative. And at the show’s beginning I pray for those feeling hopeless.

173 The Cult of the Now (13) Why So Woke? The New Consciousness

Neo-Marxists are not only pushing for cultural change they're pushing for a new consciousness, a consciousness summed up in the term 'Wokeness'. What is that wokeness? From whence in the history of philosophy did it derive? How does it compare to a biblical and Christian worldview? What are work-place consciousness training sessions about? On the personal front, what singular victory did I just enjoy? Come laugh, sing, and think with me!

172 The Cult of the Now (12) Marxism in the Land of Icons

We here in America are witnessing an energetic push for cultural revolution. But it is not new. It's happened before. What lessons can we draw from Russia, a land that had been suffused with Christian values? What did Marxism and its culture change do the Russian church? What was the decided strategy for undoing and replacing the church? What should critically minded believers learn from all that?

162 The Cult of the Now (2) Human Hunger: Christianity vs. Marx

What is the anthropology (doctrine of human nature) that lies beneath Marxism? It's important to understand that because that doctrine both undergirds and reveals what is going on in our woke-scolding era today. Herein I argue that while a Marxist can convert and come to know the living Christ, Marxism itself is beyond redemption: at its core it is atheist. Trying to transform Marxism into Christianity is like a human being trying to live among grizzly bears.
