Our Civilizational Moment: The Crisis of the West & the Clash of Worldviews w/ Os Guinness
Description
Great civilizations have risen, flourished, and fallen—leaving behind ruins, museum artifacts, and chapters in history books. Today, many wonder: Is the West approaching its own civilizational moment? A civilizational moment is the tipping point when a culture loses the very ideas and moral energy that first animated it. At such crossroads, there are only three paths:
• Renewal of the founding vision
• Replacement by a new guiding worldview
• Decline and eventual collapse
In this conversation, Dr. Jeff and Os Guinness explore the foundational question facing the modern West: Are we still connected to the truths and vision that once shaped our flourishing—or have we severed our roots and begun to fade? Os Guinness offers a sweeping yet piercing analysis of our cultural moment, tracing the forces shaping our future and the worldview battles beneath them. But this is not merely a story of crisis—it is one of clarity, courage, and hope.
For those who care about the future of the world, who long for a society that honors human dignity and freedom, and who are ready to stand for what truly matters, this episode offers both warning and invitation.
