The Scientific and Technological Revolutions happened in Christian culture, and only in Christian culture. Why? Because both depend on Christian theological assumptions.

The central doctrine of the gay rights assumes homosexuality is genetic. “I am gay because I was born that way. It's like being black. It's built into your DNA and there is nothing you can do about it. To criticize homosexuality is the same as racism.” Without this doctrinal assumption the whole edifice of gay rights collapses. But it's simply wrong. Let me give you four reasons why the gay rights movement is built on false doctrine. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/phil-mitchell7/message

In my opinion, Dominion, by the British historian Tom Holland, is the most important book written this century. It is a book about the domain of Jesus Christ; His majesty and power as it has grown over the centuries, to become the most powerful cultural force ever known to mankind. Western culture is a product of His walking the earth and Holland does a marvelous job of demonstrating this chapter after chapter. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/phil-mitchell7/message
The abandonment of the Christian worldview and a rejection of biblical truth has caused an outbreak of insanity in the Western world. From the radical pursuit of abortion on demand to the regendering of children without their parents' knowledge, to the meltdown in our cities due to the collapse of the family and the defund the police movement, we see chaos all around us.

The Jesus Revolution is a film about the Jesus People movement in the late 60s and early 70s, a movement I personally lived through. It is centered around three people: Chuck Smith, is a middle-aged pastor in a typical middle class church and stable denomination. His sermons are scripted, uninspiring, and boring. But into his life comes Lonnie Frisbee, a hippie, flower-child, and as counter-cultural as you can get. Frisbee sits in Smith's church. A couple of things happen. Smith begins to be burdened for the flower children and Frisbee annoys the staid traditional church members. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/phil-mitchell7/message
