As the maxim goes, if you want to change culture, you begin by changing language. The enemies of the gospel know this all too well. They’ve been cunningly at work redefining our most fundamental words, embedding them in our institutions and school curriculum, all to transform society to reflect their harmful, anti-Christian beliefs.
In this episode and in this book, you will learn how to practically respond by clearly knowing and defending the true biblical definitions of at least ten critical words: truth, human, sex, marriage, freedom, justice, authority, faith, beauty, and love. If we long to see a revival in the church and a reformation of culture, we must recover the true definition of these ten foundational words.
10 Words to Heal Our Broken World: Restoring the Meaning of Our Most Important Words by Scott Allen is available through Amazon and Kindle! An audiobook, companion videos, and a ten-week Bible study course will be available in the coming weeks.

Crisis of Responsibility: Our Cultural Addiction to Blame and How You Can Cure It with David Bahnsen
The world is witnessing a revolt against elitism, with growing resistance to big government, media, banks, and institutions. But what comes after these “bogeymen” are toppled? Is opposing corruption, bias, and cronyism enough, or is there a deeper issue at play?
In this episode, leading financial advisor and author David Bahnsen discusses the crisis of responsibility in a culture increasingly defined by blame and victimhood. He argues that true prosperity requires a return to personal accountability and virtue, with a focus on creating institutions that foster responsibility, rather than relying on external solutions.
Drawing on creational insights, Bahnsen explores the concept of imago Dei and its implications for human dignity and societal well-being. He critiques victim mentality, cultural Marxism, and calls for principled leadership over and above anti-elitism. This episode is a call to action for cultivating a society led by responsible, empowered individuals.

BEAUTY (10 Words to Heal Our Broken World Series)
How can beauty heal our broken world? In this episode, part nine of our 10 Words series, we explore the biblical foundations of beauty and its transformative power to change lives and nations. We challenge the notion that beauty is merely subjective, revealing how the Bible establishes a universal standard for beauty, truth, and goodness. Our conversation contrasts biblical and contemporary views of beauty, emphasizing its role in understanding God and creation. Through art, nature, and personal reflections, we show how beauty connects us to the divine and reshapes culture. Cultures that recognize God as the source of beauty thrive, and the converse holds true as well. Beauty is a gift for all—essential to our spiritual journey and daily lives, not just for artists or grand cathedrals.
