Description

If you're concerned about the future of the church, the state of education, and the moral decline in Western society, this episode offers urgent insights and hopeful direction.


 


Dr. John Patrick reflects on a cultural crisis within the modern church: the decline of serious reading and critical thinking. With urgency and wisdom, he explores how the loss of deep intellectual engagement is leading to spiritual and societal erosion. Drawing from history, literature, and science, he challenges listeners to reclaim the Christian mind through disciplined reading, moral formation, and intellectual curiosity.
