Podcasts about activists redefined identity

In this edition we are discussing a very prevalent philosophy on university campuses today (as well as in many churches): Postmodernism. My guest is Dr. Scott Smith, Professor of Christian Apologetics at Biola University's Talbot School of Theology. Scott has written quite a few articles and well-received books on this topic and often speaks on postmodernism and its implications in churches, at conferences, and on podcasts like this one.   In this podcast we discuss: What postmodernism is, and how it developed out of modernity Why the theory of nominalism (the belief that there is no reality beyond the words we use for things) is the foundation of postmodernism Why Scott is so interested in this issue as a Christian Examples of where students will encounter postmodern thought Concerns about the rise in “expressive individualism” What we can learn from postmodern thought What we must reject in postmodern thought A practical suggestion for how to converse with someone who embraces postmodernism   Resources mentioned during our conversation: Scott Smith, Truth and the New Kind of Christian: The Emerging Effects of Postmodernism in the Church Scott Smith, Authentically Emergent: In Search of a Truly Progressive Christianity Scott Smith, Exposing the Roots of Constructivism: Nominalism and the Ontology of Knowledge Carl R.

Carl R. Trueman (PhD, University of Aberdeen) is professor of biblical and religious studies at Grove City College. He is a contributing editor at First Things, an esteemed church historian, and a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center. Trueman has authored or edited more than a dozen books, including "Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution" and "The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution." We explore the complexities surrounding the concepts of human embodiment, transhumanism, and personal identity in the modern world. Addressing Sophie Lewis' views on pregnancy, the perspective of professional female athletes regarding their bodies, and broader philosophical questions raised by thinkers like Mary Harrington, the speaker dives into the intricate relationship between our physical selves and the roles technology and social media play in shaping our understanding of humanity.

We need to understand history to navigate our current cultural moment. According to Andrew Wilson, we especially need to understand the year 1776: all that led up to it and how it created the narrative of the West. In this episode we discuss the Enlightenment, romanticism, industrialization, and how the ideas they birthed shape the church and the world around us. Notes: Lydia mentions the composition of silence, it is titled 4'33'' by John Cage. Jenna mentions C.S. Lewis' introduction to On The Incarnation: “We may be sure that the characteristic blindness of the twentieth century - the blindness about which posterity will ask, "But how could they have thought that?" - lies where we have never suspected it... None of us can fully escape this blindness, but we shall certainly increase it, and weaken our guard against it, if we read only modern books. Where they are true they will give us truths which we half knew already. Where they are false they will aggravate the error with which we are already dangerously ill. The only palliative is to keep the clean sea breeze of the centuries blowing through our minds, and this can be done only by reading old books.” Resources mentioned: Remaking the World: How 1776 Created the Post-Christian West by Andrew Wilson The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self:Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution by Carl Trueman Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution by Carl Trueman All Things Bright and Beautiful Episode 20: Expressive Individualism and "Strange New World" by Carl Trueman All Things Bright and Beautiful Episode 1: On Reading and "Lit" by Tony Reinke The Air We Breathe: How We All Came to Believe in Freedom, Kindness, Progress and Equality by Glenn Scrivener All Things Bright and Beautiful Episode 7: "Frankenstein: A Guide to Reading and Reflecting" by Mary Shelley and Karen Swallow Prior Frankenstein by Mary Shelley You are Not Your Own: Belonging to God in an Inhuman World by Alan O Noble The Letters of John Newton The Hunger Game Series by Suzanne Collins 1984 by George Orwell Brave New World by Aldous Huxley The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R Tolkien The Four Quartets by T.S.

We are forgetful people. But as we rehearse the story of the Gospel together through redemptive spiritual rhythms, we can remember and be shaped by truth. As we commemorate Christ's death and resurrection this Holy Week, Father Michael Williams joins us to talk about the story of Easter, the Church calendar, and how God forms us through participation in the life of the Church.    The Benedict Option by Rod Dreher  Christian Theology: An Introduction by Alister E. McGrath  Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution by Carl R. Trueman  Deep Anglicanism by Gerald McDermott  After Humanity: A Guide to C.S. Lewis's The Abolition of Man by Michael Ward   Death on a Friday Afternoon by Richard John Newhouse    Doubts and hard questions are a welcome part of the Christian life. But many young Christians today are being encouraged to “deconstruct” their faith. Culture becomes the standard of truth instead of Scripture, and many young believers walk away from faith altogether. To help the Church offer a better way to those who are deconstructing, Alisa Childers and Tim Barnett have written The Deconstruction of Christianity. They define what deconstruction really is, why it's appealing to so many, and why it's harmful. They also equip us to love those who are deconstructing by welcoming the hard questions while also upholding truth. This month, get a copy of The Deconstruction of Christianity by giving a gift of any amount to the Colson Center at colsoncenter.org/swdeconstruction  If you've listened for a while, you've probably heard me talk about the Colson Fellows program and what a transformational experience it has been in my life and the lives of many fellow believers.

Once we understand the depth and breadth of the problems we face as the Church in defining the value of humanity, Dr. Trueman will share strategies and tools he believes the Church can employ to respond to the cultural upheaval we encounter daily.

Less than five years ago, questions like; What is a Woman? or What Does it Mean to be Human? had obvious and easy answers. But with the advent of artificial intelligence, abortion through birth, technology, the right to euthanasia, and a plethora of genders – defining and understanding the truth that human beings are sacred and made in the image of God got more than complicated! In this keynote address, Dr. Trueman will trace the evolution of the sexual mores and psychological identities that got us to where we are today.Carl Trueman is a Christian theologian and ecclesiastical historian.

Dr. Juli Slattery returns to the podcast to debunk the unhealthy assumptions about marriage, sex, and relationships that many Christians have adopted from modern, secular culture. Rather than embracing these cultural views, we can humbly embrace what God has to say about things like sex, marriage, singleness, and the Church community. As we embrace God's design for these things, we are better equipped to bring truth and love to those who are broken, hurting, and confused.    Are you prepared to make the case for life? Scott Klusendorf's newly updated edition of The Case for Life provides the tools we need to protect preborn lives from the ideologies and arguments that deny their value—including the arguments that have overtaken the world in just the last few years.

My guest today is Rick Mattson, a national apologetics specialist and evangelism coach with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. He often does open “Q and A” sessions on college campuses in which he is asked for insights on how to understand LGBTQ+ issues in ways that embody both truth and love. We discuss some of what he shares on this important topic.   In this podcast we discuss: How LGBTQ issues come up in his conversations, and why it's close to his heart The importance of the larger narrative of Scripture in understanding human sexuality and flourishing The relation of this issue to the Trinity How both the physical and spiritual ramifications of the Fall are often neglected in this conversation How to understand the idea that “God made me this way” How to understand the idea of a “gay Christian” Advice for Christian students with same-sex attraction The modern shift toward “expressive Individualism” underlying much of this conversation Finding the “middle way” between extreme views of human sexuality The centrality of spiritual disciplines in healthy friendships and sexuality How we frame conversations to open further LGBTQ discussions The importance of having appropriate expectations for our relationships How to not be bullied, or be bullies, in LGBTQ conversations What the loving thing to do is in specific situations regarding roommates or gender non-conforming dorms How to think about attending a gay friend's wedding How to think about the use of preferred pronouns A strategy to think through various other LGBTQ-related issues How the church can better prepare students to think through these issues How parents can better prepare students to think through these issues The hardest question he gets on this question on campus   Resources mentioned during our conversation: Rick Mattson's website Rick Mattson, Faith is Like Skydiving: And Other Memorable Images for Dialogue with Seekers and Skeptics Rick Mattson, Witness in the Academy: A Guide for Graduate Students, Faculty, and Those Who Minister With Them Rick's blog posts on “LGBT+” Carl Trueman, Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution Carl Trueman, The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to the Sexual Revolution Summit Ministries “A Practical Guide to Navigating University Culture,” John Stonestreet on the College Faith podcast World View Academy “Why Christian Students Must Understand Their and Other's Worldviews,” Mike Schutt on the College Faith podcast “How to Choose a College,” David Wunder on the College Faith podcast Impact 360

We speak about the concept of the Self, the different visions it embodies across the ages, and how this perspective managed to infiltrate the popular imagination. We also speak about Expressive Individualism, authenticity, technology, romanticism, and much more. Carl R.

Can we change God's pronouns to "They/Them"? When the Bible uses the pronouns "He" or "Him" referring to the Father, Son, or Holy Spirit, are we able to change or tweak those pronouns?

Guests: Tim Matthews and Jonathan Teague   Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution By Carl R. Trueman   Strange New World is an abbreviated edition of Dr. Trueman's longer book titled The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution   In this book, Dr. Trueman is going to examine how a person became a self, the self became sexualized, and sex became politicized.   SUMMARY: how the feelings of an individual have triumphed over the societal institutions (law, church, family, community), how objective truth has been eliminated, and how have we disassociated gender from biology. Chapter 7 The Sexual Revolution of the LGBTQ+   Of more immediate significance to our current situation, however, is the thought of Simone de Beauvoir, the French philosopher whose 1949 book, The Second Sex, is a foundational text for modern feminist theory. She opens the second part of that work with a dramatic and far-reaching statement: One is not born, but rather becomes, woman. No biological, psychic, or economic destiny defines the figure that the human female takes on in society; it is civilization as a whole that elaborates this intermediary product between the male and the eunuch that is called feminine.   DeBeauvoir makes a distinction between biology and what we now call gender. The whole idea of what it is to be a woman is a social construct, something that is not intrinsic to the female body. To use the language of a later gender theorist, Judith Butler, gender is a performance, a set of behaviors that society has come to expect from those who possess a certain kind of body.    The preamble of The Yogyakara Principles: Understanding “sexual orientation” to refer to each person's capacity for profound emotional, affectional and sexual aggraction to, and intimate and sexual relations with, individuals of a different gender or the same gender or more than one gender;  Understanding “gender identity” to refer to each person's deeply felt internal and individual experience of gender, which may or may not correspond with the sex assigned at birth, including the personal sense of the body (which may involved, if freely chosen, modification of bodily appearance or function by medical, surgical or other means) and other expressions of gender, including dress, speech and mannerisms.   Principle 3 Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law. Persons of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities shall enjoy legal capacity in all aspects of life. Each person's self-defined sexual orientation and gender identity is integral ot their personality and is one of the most basic aspects of self-determination, dignity and freedom   In plain terms, this calls for societies to recognize–that is, affirm, support, and protect–whatever subjective sexual identity any individual cares to affirm for themselves.   Chapter 8 Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness   While the speed of the sexual revolution has been shocking to many, perhaps the strangest and most disturbing developments over recent years have been the ways in which freedoms once considered to be self-evident goods - of speech and of religion - are now under pressure in many Western democracies. This is something both unexpected and sinister.   United States v Windsor (2013) - challenge of DOMA - the court saw the objections to gay marriage as being grounded in what is technically termed constitutional animus or, to put the same idea in more colloquial terms, irrational bigotry.   Windsor provided the immediate legal background to Obergefell v Hodges (2015) - legalization of same-sex marriage…   Casey (1992) decision from Justice Kennedy: At the heart of liberty is the right to define one's own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life. Beliefs about these matters could not define the attributes of personhood were they formed under compulsion of the State.   For example, when the Christian objects of homosexuality, he may well think he is objecting to a set of sexual desires or sexual practices. But the gay man sees those desires as part of who he is in his very essence.   What Marcuse is calling for here is the censoring of speech as a means of moving society toward a more just and equitable state.   Chapter 9 Strangers in This Strange New World   The era when Christians could disagree with the broader convictions of the secular world and yet still find themselves respected as decent members of society at large is coming to an end.   First, we need to examine ourselves, individually and corporately, to see in what ways we have compromised the gospel with the spirit of this age. Then, we need to repent, call out to the Lord for grace, and seek to reform our beliefs, attitudes, intuitions, and practices accordingly.    Second, an awareness of our complicity should cultivate a level of humility in how we engage with those with whom we disagree on these matters.   Third, to be aware of our complicity at least allows us to engage in the future in appropriate self-criticism and self-policing on such issues.   Justin Martyr - did not spend time denouncing the evils of the emperor - rather, they argued positively that Christians make the best citizens, the best parents, the best servants, the best neighbors, the best employees…   Augustine - The City of God - Christians could and should be good citizens to the extent that their higher commitment to God allowed them to do so.   In short, we can stand strong in this cultural moment and address the specific challenges we face only if our foundations in God's truth are broad and deep.   This means that the chaotic nature of our times is no excuse for abandoning the church's task of teaching her people the whole counsel of God.   The church also needs to recover natural law and a theology of the body.  

Guests: Tim Matthews and Jonathan Teague   Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution By Carl R. Trueman   Strange New World is an abbreviated edition of Dr. Trueman's longer book titled The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution   In this book, Dr. Trueman is going to examine how a person became a self, the self became sexualized, and sex became politicized.   Chapter 5 The Revolt of the Masses   Technology also reinforces the focus on the individual, and upon individual satisfactions.   To this we might add the observation of Yuval Levin concerning the reversal in the understanding of the purpose of institutions that characterizes our present age: We have moved, roughly speaking, from thinking of institutions as molds that shape people's character and habits towards seeing them as platforms that allow people to be themselves and to display themselves before a wider world.   We can express this more bluntly: institutions are no longer authoritative places of formation but of performance.   Dan - some parents see their role not as an authority figure, but as a facilitator to allow your children be whatever they want to be. Many people don't regard science/biology as being authoritative in terms of gender and sexuality, just because a “doctor” says you're a boy, doesn't make you a boy - that's the mindset of a growing group today!   Dan - difference between reforming institutions and rejecting institutions. If you reject these institutions, what do you replace them with?   To use a distinction deployed by philosopher Roger Scruton, pornography is about bodies, not faces. If sex is just about my pleasure, any body will do as a partner. But in a marriage, the specific identity of the sexual partners is critical. The purpose of sex is not to have sex but to make love, to reinforce a relationship with a particular person–or, to use Scruton's terminology, with a face, not just with a body. Chapter 6 Plastic People, Liquid World   “Contours of the MODERN SELF” - the emphasis on the authority of our inner feelings; the centrality of sexual desire to this; the way in which this is now a political and not merely a personal matter; and the various cultural and technological factors that have also served to promote this way of understanding the self.   Plastic people - those who believe they can make and remake themselves at will   Liquid world - to borrow a phrase from Karl Marx, all that is solid seems continually to melt into air.   This highlights the fact that human beings do not simply wish to be free. We also wish to belong, to be part of a group where we are accepted and affirmed.   Now we are free to choose the narrative to which we wish to belong, the imagined community that will provide us with our identity and purpose. We can focus on those narratives that make us feel good and that confirm our chosen view of the world and ignore those that present challenges to this. Jonathan - if self is god, then my experience becomes my gospel   Modern American society is fragmenting because the imagined communities to which people choose to belong lack any shared narrative. Therefore, the terms of recognition that one group wishes to see American society adopt are often antithetical to those of others.  

Guests: Tim Matthews and Jonathan Teague   Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution By Carl R. Trueman   Strange New World is an abbreviated edition of Dr. Trueman's longer book titled The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution   In this book, Dr. Trueman is going to examine how a person became a self, the self became sexualized, and sex became politicized.   Chapter 3 Prometheus Unbound   Dan's comment: where/how did we get rid of objective truth (God as the standard for truth)?   Jonathan's comment: these ideas are not thousands of years in the past - many of the ideas still popular today are heavily influenced by Marx and Nietzsche   Tim's comment: these ideologies are not helpful, they are harmful!   Karl Marx The foundation of irreligious criticism is: Man makes religion, religion does not make man. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness.   Religion is a sign of intellectual weakness in its adherents and a means of social oppression for its proponents. Further, freedom can be achieved only by the abolition of religion.   Friedrich Nietzsche “Whither is God?” he cried: “I will tell you. We have killed him–you and I.” God is dead.   Dan's comment: If God is dead, then we are free from all moral constraints. We might express Nietzsche's thought this way: freed from the burden of being creatures of God, human beings must rise to the challenge of self-creation, of being whoever they choose to be. Put perhaps even more bluntly: be whoever or whatever works for you. You should feel no obligation to conform to the standards or criteria of anybody else.   Chapter 4 Sexualizing Psychology, Politicizing Sex   Tim's comment: your sexuality, while important, is such a shallow measure of your total human existence and being.   …sexual desire has emerged in the last one hundred years as a primary category for understanding our identity. In biblical times or in ancient Greece, sex was regarded as something that human beings did; today it is considered to be something vital to who human beings are.   Sigmund Freud First, the notion that sex is foundational to human happiness is central to Freud's thinking.   So, seeking pleasure and avoiding pain are key to the definition of happiness. And where is the greatest pleasure to be found? Freud is in no doubt: Man's discovery that sexual (genital) love afforded him the strongest experiences of satisfaction and in fact provided him with the prototype of all happiness, must have suggested to him that he should continue to seek the satisfaction of happiness in his life along the path of sexual relations and that he should make genital erotism the central point of his life.   When we add to this that Freud also saw sexual desire as existing from infancy, the point is further reinforced: our identities as human beings are in a very important sense fundamentally defined by our sexual desires.   The fulfilled life is a sexually fulfilled life.   Wilhelm Reich In plain English, the sexual morality of Reich's day is designed to reinforce the structure and authority of the traditional family. The social function of the traditional family is to raise children who are instinctively obedient to a strong authoritarian (father) figure–in Reich's eyes, a figure such as Hitler.   The point is clear: sexual codes must be shattered if human beings are to be truly free. Those things that inhibit the free sexual expression, even of young children, are oppressive and prevent individuals from truly being themselves.

Guests: Tim Matthews and Jonathan Teague Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution By Carl R. Trueman Strange New World is an abbreviated edition of Dr. Trueman's longer book titled The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution In this book, Dr. Trueman is going to examine how a person became a self, the self became sexualized, and sex became politicized. The radical change that Dr. Trueman observes is that rather than conform thoughts, feelings, and actions to objective reality, man's inner life itself becomes the source of truth.   Chapter 1 Welcome to This Strange New World “Expressive individualism” was coined by the American scholar Robert Bellah, who defines it as follows: Expressive individualism holds that each person has a unique core of feeling and intuition that should unfold or be expressed if individuality is to be realized. In short, the modern self is one where authenticity is achieved by acting outwardly in accordance with one's inward feelings. Great article and explanation from John Stonestreet at The Colson Center about the Philadelphia Flyers hockey player Ivan Provorov who refused to wear a jersey for the NHL's “Pride Night.” Jonathan - who is the arbiter of what is “ok” - can't be culture…left up to the individual themselves, which presents a huge problem when someone else's opinion conflicts with yours. Tim - why aren't the opinion and feelings of Ivan Provorov taken into consideration and protected as well? In this book, I do not wish to deny that expressive individualism has aspects that are good and commendable. I am concerned, however, with how its triumph as the normative self has led to some of the strangest and, to many, most disturbing aspects of our modern world. If the individual's inner identity is defined by sexual desire, then he or she must be allowed to act out on that desire in order to be an authentic person. Obviously, Western society still has sexual codes and places limits on sexual behavior - pedophilia, for example, continues to be outlawed in the United States - but those limits are increasingly defined not so much by the sex acts themselves as by the issue of whether the parties involved have consented to those acts. Again, notice what the sexual revolution has done: it has brought us to the point where sexual acts in themseles are seen as having no intrinsic moral significance; it is the consent (or not) of those engaging in them that provides the moral framework.   Chapter 2 Romantic Roots Rene Descartes (1596-1650) - “I think; therefore I am.” Thinking is the ground of certainty. Dan's comment: God is no longer the source of truth; each individual person is! Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) - First, he locates identity in the inner psychological life of the individual. Feelings for Rousseau are central to who we are. And second, he sees society (or perhaps better, culture) as exerting a corrupting influence on the self. In short, society makes us inauthentic. Jonathan's comment - while this might be profound, the problem is that it puts the brightest light on man, and makes man the center of existence…replacing God on the throne of life. Rousseau rejects the Christian doctrine of original sin - it is society that corrupts the individual… Dan's question - if society corrupts the individual, what corrupted society? Isn't society just the collected thoughts/wills of the various individuals - and if the individuals are good and pure, why wouldn't the collective (society) be good and pure as well? Everyone else is first and foremost a potential threat to my authenticity. Rousseau - The Social Contract - Man is born free, yet everywhere he is in chains. Rousseau's “noble savage” - uncorrupted by the demands of civilized society with its hyprocrises and sharp antithesis between outward behavior and that inner voice of nature… Tim's comment - many of the restraints that society places on individuals is actually for our flourishing, for the benefit of all.

Guest: James Vilade Founder, Keeper of The Game Foundation Guys, just a quick reminder that our next book study begins this week; the first episode will be released on Friday, Feb. 3rd and then for the three remaining Fridays in February. The book we'll be reading and discussing is Dr. Carl Trueman's outstanding cultural examination titled Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution - get your copy today and read along with us! Bio for Coach Vilade: After finishing his successful college baseball career with Baylor University, James Vilade entered the world of coaching and has seen success at every level - from the pros to college and now even at the high school level. He understands that athletics is an avenue for success in life and takes his role and responsibility to mold boys into men very seriously, while having a ton of fun along the way! Coach V is not just a great baseball coach, he's a great friend, and a great mentor for young men. Coach V's primary question for young guys - “What kind of person are you becoming along the way?” One of the main rules for life is how you treat those around you - learn to treat others well. “Baseball is life” - would you buy that t-shirt? Parenting fail - when the sport your child plays becomes more important than their character and the person they are becoming! Common struggle for young men today - “handling the moment.” Don't let the wins take you too high or the losses take you too low! Men generally respond well to other guys calling them up to be better men - surround yourself with men who will do that for you…and you need to do that for others. “Show me your people and I'll show you the man you'll become.” What's the one thing you can tell a young man that will impact his life? “I love you.” T4M guys - just a reminder that Training4Manhood is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) ministry and you can make donations either via Zelle (info@training4manhood.com) or by visiting the Training4Manhood website. Huge thank you to Jared Wood for allowing T4M to use his music in our intro and outro selections.

It's been a hit on the paleocon right.For two clips of our convo — on our disagreement over the nature of gayness, and whether gay marriages adversely affect straight marriages — pop over to our YouTube page. Other topics: Augustine, Aquinas, Martin Luther and the printing press, Pascal, Calvin, Rousseau, mimesis vs. poiesis, Darwin, Freud, the Frankfurt School, postmodernism, Charles Taylor, contraception, Reagan and no-fault divorce, reactionaries, and sodomy.

You've seen him in Matt Walsh's excellent documentary, What Is A Woman? This week I sit down with Dr. Carl Trueman to discuss expressive individualism, the prevailing notion of the modern self that has led to the cultural insanity we're witnessing in society. Born and raised in England, Carl Trueman is a graduate of the Universities of Cambridge (M.A.) and Aberdeen (Ph.D), and taught on the faculties of the Universities of Nottingham and Aberdeen before moving to the United States in 2001 to teach at Westminster Theological Seminary (PA). In 2017-18 he was the William E. Simon Visiting Fellow in Religion and Public Life in the James Madison Program at Princeton University. Since 2018, he has served as a professor at Grove City College in the Calderwood School of Arts and Humanities. He is widely published in both academic and popular circles, is a Contributing Editor at First Things and Touchstone Magazine, an opinion columnist at World magazine, and a Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington DC. His most recent books are The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Expressive Individualism, Cultural Amnesia, and the Road to Sexual Revolution and Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution (both from Crossway).

My guest today is Mike Schutt, Executive Director of the Worldview Academy. Mike has been thinking, writing, and consulting on worldview formation for over 30 years, including helping law students bring their worldview into the practice of law. His thoughts on worldview and Law have been published in his Redeeming Law: Christian Calling and the Legal Profession (InterVarsity Press, 2007). In this podcast we discuss: What a worldview is Why it is so important to understand worldviews The benefits of living according to the biblical worldview How Mike discovered the importance of worldviews during college  How worldview issues permeate all university classes Ways Christian students have faltered due to not understanding worldviews (especially related to views of knowledge and truth)  How we are shaped by our culture's worldview, often without knowing it The main worldviews we should understand Understanding worldview as both ideas and loves The relationship of worldview to our actions, wisdom and flourishing Why Christian students struggle so much with the scientific naturalist worldview How to evaluate worldviews and develop a robust and consistent biblical worldview Three simple questions to evalue any worldview claim made in classes or conversations The relationship between spiritual disciplines and living out the biblical worldview Ways your local church can help you develop your worldview Two questions to ask others in your church (or on campus) to find worldview mentors (and eventually mentor others) Why the Christian worldview is superior to all others Ways students can more fully live out their Christian worldview Changing ways students are interacting with Scripture Resources mentioned during our conversation: Albert Wolters, Creation Regained: Biblical Basics for a Reformational Worldview James Sire, The Universe Next Door: A Basic Worldview Catalog Worldview Academy “How to Watch a Movie, Using Top Gun: Maverick as an Example,” College Faith podcast #23 with Drew Trotter James K.

What is the Christian identity? In today's cultural climate the issue of identity is being debated, with those who seek to spin an identity from their feelings, and with those who look outside of themselves for their identity. The question "What defines us?" gets to the point of contention. Do things like gender, sexual orientation, careers, sinful proclivities, or, more religiously, God, give shape to who we are? Do we look within us, or do we look to our Creator? Even Christians have been confused, sometimes using the title: "Gay Christian." How do we sift through the competing ideas of identity? In a word: we go back to God's Word.  For more information, see:  Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution by Carl Trueman  The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution by Carl Trueman  Live Not by Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents by Rod Dreher  About Being a Boy or a Girl: Discussing Gender and Marriage with Little Ones in Light of God's Word by Lisa Updike  Fearfully and Wonderfully Made by David Menton  Are You Born Gay?

Dr. Carl Trueman visits from that “other” Alliance podcast (Mortification of Spin) to discuss his latest book: Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution. More than an abridged version of his 2020 bestseller The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self, Trueman's new release offers additional insights not explored in the larger work with a more accessible format designed for all readers. How can an allegiance forged online be “more real” to a young person than the actual community where he lives? When did internal feelings surpass external realities as the way we perceive the world around us? How does technology reinforce that inward focus? For those left wondering how the world arrived at its current state of identity politics, today's conversation will prove most enlightening!  We have a few copies of Strange New World to offer as giveaways, so register to win one! The books are a gift from the publisher Crossway.

Satisfying personal desires has become the definition of the "good life." Follow this notion far enough and it leads to distorted definitions that end in moral chaos.

This episode will explain five outcomes of this approach to life and offer biblical correctives to each one.Resources:"The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution" - Carl R.
