What do we mean by a Post-Christian world? Marcus explains and we talk with Tim Staples of Catholic Answers about the dangers of viewing the Papacy with American eyes.

In episode 4 of our series on the Cartography of the Christian religion we discuss the root causes that have led to what we see looking at the current map. To do this requires starting at the beginning or genesis of the Narrative.  The story begins with Adam and progresses to Jesus who is called the last Adam. That sounds like a seamless story that defines a problem from its very start and then, over centuries of time, evolves into an entire paradigm identified as death. And whatever was the cause of death was removed by actions surrounding the role and function of Jesus the Christological individual and modeled by the Christological collective known as the body.  We now discuss questions raised by our interpretation of this evolutionary story. Did Jesus “kind of” defeat death? Was death defeated for a small percentage of the human race? What was the root cause of death to begin with?  And why does the story outline 2 possible identities starting with Adam and Abraham and evolve into a first century conflict between those identities that resulted in the coming of a new world paradigm? Why is universal God identity the outcome of the story? It's all about Christology.  

In this episode of the Connect Podcast, Pastor Cole Phillips sits down with his daughter, Makenzie Phillips, who leads the young adult ministries at The Connection Church, to discuss how the gospel is breaking through in unexpected places in a post-Christian culture. From college campuses to social media, they explore where young people are finding faith and how bold evangelism is opening doors for the gospel. Plus, hear how The Connection Church is stepping through these open doors to make a lasting impact. Based on 1 Corinthians 16:9, this episode is all about recognizing and seizing opportunities for effective ministry, even in a culture that seems to be turning away from faith.

The new McCrindle report ‘An undercurrent of faith' says: Those turning to Christian faith are not who we might expect - it's especially older people, the recently widowed and recently separated or divorced.The move is most on away from Christian identity in outer suburbia and regional areas.Australians are still turning to Christianity in large numbers, despite a decline in Christian affiliation.While 85,000 15-24 year olds have moved towards Christianity in the last five years, that's dramatically down on a decade agoFounder and Principle of McCrindle research, Mark McCrinde, says his report shows a new search for purpose and meaning and asks is “Australia Post Christian or are we now Post Secular?” Plus we compare the findings of the national McCrindle report with the recent Sydney Anglican report on Church attendance. Reach Australia National ConferenceReach Australia's National Conference is from 19 to 22 May 2025 on the Central Coast of NSW.

Ken Ham joins Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar to discuss the growing opposition to Christianity and how challenges can strengthen faith and spread the gospel. He shares how AIG faces protests but uses them as opportunities to witness with love. Reflecting on building The Ark Encounter, he explains that stepping out in faith can be daunting, but God provides. The discussion highlights Christianity's declining influence in the West, particularly among Generation Z, yet history shows faith thrives in times of persecution. Ken stresses the importance of biblical authority, as morality collapses without absolute truth. AIG equips believers with apologetics training to defend their faith confidently. The guys remind Christians that faith is not blind but responsible, and the ultimate solution to society's problems is the gospel. Ken challenges believers to live fully for Christ, sharing the gospel boldly and recognizing the eternal significance of every soul.   Send us a textThanks for listening!

More and more church attendees are leaving the church, with Baptists and Presbyterians losing a percentage over the past several years. Has it been helpful to water down the Gospel in order to appeal to the world, or is the American Church now paying the price? If churches and families don't disciple and ground their disciples in Biblical theology, it will all fall apart, and that's what we're seeing now.This program includes:1.

The concept I'll be using relating to map making is cartography. The audience for this series is any and everyone interested in having a global conversation for a new earth. All are welcome regardless of denominational affiliation or non-affiliation, Catholic or Protestant and those who are now post Christian or Trans-religious.  The series will address the map as it evolved from the past, meaning how the map took shape in the first few centuries and then expanded into a world religion of thousands of denominations and factions. We will then address the map as to how it looks today. And I'll ask each of you to identify your place on today's map.

Whenever I talk about charity, a type that I'll call the “based post-Christian vitalist” shows up in the comments to tell me that I've got it all wrong. The moral impulse tells us to help our family, friends, and maybe village. It's a weird misfire, analogous to an auto-immune disease, to waste brain cycles on starving children in a far-off country who you'll never meet. You've been cucked by centuries of Christian propaganda. Instead of the slave morality that yokes you to loser victims who wouldn't give you the time of day if your situations were reversed, you should cultivate a master morality that lets you love the strong people who push forward human civilization. A younger and more naive person might think the based post-Christian vitalist and I have some irreconcilable moral difference. Moral argument can only determine which conclusions follow from certain premises. If premises are too different (for example, a intuitive feeling of compassion for others, vs. an intuitive feeling of strength and pitilessness), there's no way to proceed. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/everyones-a-based-post-christian

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss a recent decision from the Starbucks CEO to recapture the coffee company's identity as a “third place” - a place where “community is formed and civility is fostered.” Today's conversation was prompted by an article in The Atlantic that you can read HERE. For many years in the U.S., the church was a key “third place” in people's lives. This is something we've lost, and need to find a way - like Starbucks - to recapture. Episode Links The idea of the “third place” was made popular by Ray Oldenberg in his book The Great Good Place. While the home is the “first place,” and work/school is the “second place,” people longed for a “third place” where they could find community, creative interactions, and simply enjoy the pleasure of good company and conversation. As Dr. White noted in his book Meet Generation Z, for the younger generations the “third place” shifted from the coffee shop to the digital world - even to the point that they began to have online house parties and gatherings where they weren't physically together. Increasingly, though, people are looking for a blend of both - embodied experiences where they can gather together as well as community that they can forge online. This hybrid way of doing life is something that Dr. White explored extensively in his book Hybrid Church: Rethinking the Church for the Post-Christian, Digital Age. The command that Jesus gave to the Church in the Great Commission makes it clear that we need to be a church that is both reaching people for Jesus and helping them to grow in their faith. Evangelism and discipleship cannot be bracketed off from each other. Dr. White explained this so well in his description of the flywheel that represents the mission that all churches today must be on. If you'd like a really helpful overview of this, we'd encourage you to reach the Church & Culture blog titled “Turning Your Flywheel.” Finally, for those listeners who live in the Charlotte area, you heard Dr. White mention the Grounds Bookstore and Café at Mecklenburg Community Church. This has increasingly grown as a “third place,” bringing in not only people who attend the church, but also many who are just looking for a really good coffee shop. You can find out more about The Grounds HERE.

Matthew Distefano joins Michael to talk about the sequel to his book "Heretic," called "Heretic Too." It's provocative, insightful, humorous, and healing. We discuss the book and the many issues he addresses therein as an exvangelical, including what it means to follow Jesus, sexuality, women in the "church," corporal punishment, the nature of sin, the doctrine of hell, violent theology, and how to pray to an uncontrolling God. Restorative and healing, the book is a must read and our conversation is a must hear for anyone who continues to question their inherited doctrines.Find Matthew's book here: https://www.amazon.com/Heretic-Too-Matthew-J-Distefano-ebook/dp/B0DFRR3JJB/

In this episode we delve into such topics as how we continue to search for meaning and purpose in a post-truth world, how humans often find something to worship even in the absence of God, and how the power of imagination and story can help us find that which is true as we face each new day. Maria Francesca French is the author of Safer than the Known Way: A Post-Christian Journey and Reconfiguring: A Collection of Post-Christian and Theologies (Quoir Publishing). She has spent her career in theological education as both professor and administrator, holding two MAs and a DMin. Maria has worked in innovative church contexts, planting, and denominational leadership focused on the intersections of faith and culture. Offering new forums for faith engagement and theological imagination that are viable and sustainable for an uncertain future, exploring Radical Theology and post-theist thought for the present and future of faith. Dr John Thatamanil is Associate Professor of Theology and World Religions at Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York. He is the author of Circling the Elephant: A Comparative Theology of Religious Diversity (Fordham University Press) and The Immanent Divine: God, Creation, and the Human Predicament; An East–West Conversation (Fortress). He teaches a wide variety of courses in the areas of comparative theology, theologies of religious diversity, Hindu-Christian dialogue, the theology of Paul Tillich, theory of religion, and process theology. He is committed to the work of comparative theology―theology that learns from and with a variety of traditions. A central question that drives his work is “How can Christian communities come to see religious diversity as a promise rather than as a problem?”Find your guides at Quoir Academy!

It's our 100th episode! We celebrate this milestone with a lively conversation with our first guest speakers, two innovative spiritual thinkers who helped us launch the first Radical Love Live event 5 years ago. We welcome back author, minister, and post-Christian thinker Maria Francesca French and scholar, author, theologian, and minister John Thatamanil to revisit the first topics we took on at the beginning of this project—Crisis and Change—and to check in on how our world and the state of faith has changed since we first spoke.

Collin Hansen, Editor-in-Chief of the Gospel Coalition, reflects on the political vision and legacy of Tim Keller. Politics is not the first subject anyone would associate with the life and work of pastor Tim Keller. And yet when you review his teaching, you find someone who may have written more deeply and insightfully about politics than any other contemporary pastor. In this session, Hansen explains what Keller believed the American church should do as politics increasingly shift from ideology to identity politics.This is the first talk from the CPT's 2024 conference Kingdom Politics.

What happens when a committed communist finds faith in Christianity? Héctor Ramírez, our special guest, shares his gripping journey from embracing Marxist ideology in his small Colombian hometown to being transformed by Christ. His remarkable story highlights the impact of faith, beauty, and the arts in bridging the gap between truth and today's postmodern, post-Christian societies. Héctor helps us consider how we might best navigate postmodern thinking as believers. To help us, we discuss the cultural shift from modernity to postmodernity and examine the challenges of a post-truth era, where emotions often overshadow reason and science. This conversation is crucial for understanding how the Church can effectively communicate the Bible in our day. Héctor shares his thoughts on utilizing beauty and art as a vessel for truth, and considers how this can foster spiritual reflection and bring a cultural shift away from postmodernism.View the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!Learn more about DNA's free online Kingdomizer Training Program: Truth and Transformation.

The year 1776 remade the world. In one extraordinary year, a combination of books, ships, machines, inventions, paintings, and declarations created a new cultural landscape that we could characterize as WEIRDER: Western, educated, industrialized, rich, democratic, ex-Christian, and romantic. In this breakout session from TGC23, Andrew Wilson teaches how these different transformations came together to shape our world—how the church of 1776 responded, and what we can learn from them.Read Andrew Wilson's book, Remaking the World: How 1776 Created the Post-Christian West. 

Are you reeling at the speed at which our world is changing? Author and pastor Andrew Wilson wants us to go back to a year in American and world history when the seeds were planted for so much of the change we're experiencing today. What happened in 1776 that connects with what we're seeing in the post-Christian West? Find out on Chris Fabry Live.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This brodcast was previously aired 01/13/2024.GUEST: DARRELL HARRISON, pastoral staff, Redeemer Bible Church, Gilbert, AZThere are only two foundations for thinking and living: the perfect Word of God or the flawed word of man.In running further and further away from the truth of God's Word, our leaders and people run headlong into the fallen and foolish reasonings of man that Paul warned Christians to avoid:“See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ” (Colossians. 2:8).The empty deceptions of our day are seen and felt everywhere now. When one believes the lie that white, male, heterosexual Christians are responsible for victimizing everyone else, causing every conflict and ill, flawed and discriminatory solutions like Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) which actually codifies injustice and discrimination against the alleged oppressors.Christians live in this fallen world with all its ungodly philosophies and so we must informed and prepared when it confronts us in our workplace, school, church, or even with children in our home who have been taken captive.Darrell Harrison, host of the Just Thinking podcast and a member of the pastoral staff at Redeemer Bible Church in Gilbert, AZ, joins us this weekend on The Christian Worldview to provide deeper insight on ideologies like DEI and pejorative terms like “colonization” used toward Americans and Israelis. He will also explain how these deceptions need to be especially resisted at the door of the church.-----------------------Darrell Harrison's podcast: Just Thinking is a long-form, expository podcast that boldly confronts cultural, social, political and theological issues through an orthodox biblical worldview.
