West, Vice President of the Discovery Institute, discusses his powerful new book, Stockholm Syndrome Christianity: How the Relentless Assault on Religion Has Created a Nation of Christian Hostages.Dr. West reveals how many Christians—often unknowingly—have adopted the values, language, and priorities of a culture increasingly hostile to Biblical truth.

Segment 1: • Compromised Faith: Christians who sympathize with the world's systems reflect “Stockholm Syndrome Christianity,” per John G. West, former professor at Seattle Pacific University. • SPU's Roots: Founded in the Free Methodist system, but compromises have eroded its foundation. • Recurring Patterns: How Christian institutions can drift away from truth when cultural pressures take hold. Segment 2: • Generational Decline: Institutions go from affirming truth, to assuming it, to abandoning it entirely. • Women's Roles: Compromise often begins with shifts in beliefs about women in ministry. • Lessons from SPU: A failure to uphold biblical patterns leads to cultural capitulation—how can we learn from their mistakes? Segment 3: • Everything Matters: Tasks like mowing your lawn reflect anthropology and God's design for creation. • Higher View of Humanity: Even caring for our environment reflects biblical truths about man's stewardship and dominion. • Architecture's Impact: Thoughtful design isn't just aesthetic—it increases productivity and reflects God's order. Segment 4: • A World Gone Mad: THC beer, medicinal marijuana, and the normalization of sin signal a moral decline. • Purity is Allegiance: Virgil Walker argues the fight for purity isn't about repression, but about loyalty to God. • Resources for Growth: Fortis is offering free study guides to equip Christians in their walk of faith. ___ Thanks for listening!

The Appalling Moral Failure of Francis Collins By John G. West, VP and Sr. Fellow at the Discovery Institute Francis Collins, Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has announced his intention to step down at the end of 2021 after more than 12 years heading the agency. The accolades are already rolling in. Noted evangelical political commentator David French, for example, rushed to praise Collins as "a national treasure." But Collins's real legacy is anything but praiseworthy, and the tendency of figures in the faith community to ignore his real record is far from admirable. This year of all years should have made the truth about Francis Collins clear. Last month, documents were released suggesting that top NIH officials may have lied when they denied that the NIH had funded "gain of function" research in Wuhan, China, that could have resulted in a pathogen that could infect humans. After reviewing the documents, Rutgers University biologist Richard Ebright had a blistering response: "The documents make it clear that assertions by the NIH Director, Francis Collins, and the NIAID Director, Anthony Fauci, that the NIH did not support 'gain of function' research or potential pandemic pathogen enhancement... are untruthful." It was another blow to the reputation of Collins in a year when his agency has faced multiple scandals and controversies. [more...] Dr. John G.

Francis Collins' Rhetoric About the Unvaccinated is Anything but Christian Francis Collins is Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
