In this special edition of The Christian Outlook, Dr. Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, sits down with author Rod Dreher to talk about his new book, “The Benedict Option: A Strategy for Christians in a Post-Christian Nation.” Dr. Mohler’s wide-ranging interview with Dreher covers the magnitude of the political and cultural changes we are witnessing in America. Dreher is calling upon Christians to return to the first principles of the faith as militant secularism is on the rise and the culture is increasingly hostile toward the religious liberties of Christians.

That’s what Salem’s Christian hosts do for our listeners across the country every day—and “The Christian Outlook” draws from the best of their material to bring you an hour-long program you won’t want to miss.

Antisemitism Revealed on Our University Campuses
