Brad  Wilcox: The Correlation Between Marriage, Happiness, and Wealth

Blessing Enemies and Engaging Culture

Critical Theory and Woke Definitions

Truth Over Fear

Faithful Cultural Engagement

Neil Shenvi, a Christian apologist, discusses how believers can engage a post-Christian culture with both truth and compassion. Drawing from Scripture and his experience as a former non-believer, Shenvi explains how to build meaningful relationships, point people to Christ, and avoid self-righteousness or fear. The conversation traces critical theory and "wokeness" to Marxist ideas about oppression and power, examining how concepts like equity, inclusion, and lived experience have been culturally redefined. They also tackle gender ideology, preferred pronouns, racial narratives, and the tension between biblical and "poetic" truth — modeling how Christians can hold firm convictions while showing Christlike love to family, coworkers, and those who strongly disagree.

 

Get a copy of Neil's book, Post Woke: Asserting a Biblical Vision of Race, Gender, and Sexuality, for a gift of any amount.

 

Dr. Shelby Steele addresses racial division in America, examining the civil rights movement of the 1960s and comparing it to the campaign for social justice today. He reminds us of the importance of strong marriages and families as the solution to many societal ills.

 

The world is shifting. Truth is under attack. Truth Rising, a new documentary from Focus on the Family and the Colson Center, reveals the crisis shaking faith, identity, and morality. But we can make a difference when we stand in God’s truth. Join the movement—watch now!
