The battle to topple traditional American, and Judeo-Christian, culture is raging today through a dynamic I'm calling "disproportionate engagement." I offer some examples of how this is so: an unwitting tv Christian family gets played, confessions of a former Antifa member, the unabashed educational indoctrination system, and how even cartoons are being cancelled. At the show's conclusion I also offer four steps believers should be taking. Come laugh and think with me!
We now live in an era characterized by B.S. In this episode I define what, technically, is B.S. and talk about how to set your B.S.-o-meter. On what basis did Jesus positively teach us to judge? What things did he say that implied our need to judge? What kinds of daily decisions require judgment? What qualities are helpful for growing healthy Christian discernment?
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!
In this episode: why is the self-named anti-racism movement a false gospel? what is original sin in this new gospel? how does one get saved in this new false gospel? what kind of good things are going on despite our tumultuous era? why does this movement cherish grand gestures? how does Marxism consistently try to "help" people? why is there so much largesse involved in Marxism? And, what kind of things can Christians be doing to effect change? Come think and laugh with me.
Today's civil unrest is not a simple racial dichotomizing dynamic. The impetus, the drive, the energy is very particular: Marxist ideology. Specifically, we are witnessing the results of a sixty-some year long moral re-wiring of society. We've gone from personal morality to societal morality following the class structures of Karl Marx. A moral vacuum was created and guess what rushed in to fill it? White Guilt. Come think with me about what white guilt means and why millions feel vaguely guilty.
Whereas the Bible presents multiple ways we might account for and celebrate diversity, Lord Zeitgeist says there's pretty much only one way to account for it: skin color. What are some simple reasoned ways to highlight diversity? And then, I dare to ask, which is more important for the Common Good, diversity or excellence? Come laugh and think with me.
Does the Bible forbid love of nation? Does the Bible forbid love of one's local culture? Is this really about nationalism or is there another agenda at work? In philosophic speak, between what two enormous focal points does the pendulum of history swing? Why? In light of the Common Good how should we think about Nationalism?
Which story influences your life? The Bible is a story, with God as the main actor and author, that is meant to influence all lives. But, just what is a narrative approach to theology or to life? (I also review the movie Wonder).
