How Christians Can Fight Back

Sometimes, the only way forward is backward. For instance, the modern obsession with “my personal truth.” The solution to this destructive force, according to author and podcast host Spencer Klavan, lies in ancient wisdom and the timeless question, “How is that working out for you?”

Spencer joins Glenn Beck to apply his expertise in classic literature and philosophy to the enigmas and culture wars of today, from the hubris of atheism to the rot of academia. And with a Ph.D. from Oxford, he knows a thing or two about academics. He walks Glenn through how the innovations of science have led to the religion of science, which in turn has bred horrors. He explains why he says, “Transgenderism is transhumanism.”

And as a gay man, he responds to the destruction of truth in the name of people like him, including the possibility that Pride Month could be used to paint any dissenters as “Christian nationalists.” Spencer also walks Glenn through the big ideas in his latest book, “How to Save the West: Ancient Wisdom for 5 Modern Crises.” But, despite it all, there’s room for hope, he says. The decay of society may just be a great opportunity to make civilization better.

Plato’s Answer To Wokeness

Sara Carter welcomes scholar and podcaster Spencer Klavan, who explains in his new book how ancient Greece and Israel had plenty to say about what we think of as only modern-day challenges.

Klavan’s work, How to Save the West: Ancient Wisdom for 5 Modern Crises, digs into the thought process of many ancient luminaries, such as Plato, on many of the same problems we face today, such as sexuality, defining truth and the future of our republic. Carter also takes a deep dive into the theme of how our political battles are currently a fight between normal and crazy, a comparison stressed by Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders during her response to the State of the Union.
