The worldwide faith tradeoff from North and West to South and East was laid out in the 2023 release of Gordon Conwell Seminary's Status of Global Christianity Report—a stark illustration of the collapse Western Christianity. Christian adherents in Europe and North America as a percentage of the world population dropped by more than half between 1900 and 2023 (from 21.9% to 10.5%), while the percentage of Christians in Asia, Africa, and South America increased from 6% to 21.9% of the world population. The two world people groups had exchanged positions over 123 years. The South ascended while the North declined. Meanwhile, Islam had increased its pull upon the world from 12% to 25% between 1900 and 2023, and atheists/agnostics increased from 0.2% to 11.1% over the same timeframe. We look at the reasons for the decline, and the critical need for reviving and reformation now.

The government's endorsement of sexual perversion is increasingly leading to the government's endorsement of child sexual abuse. Phillip Zodhiates set out to help a child who, according to witnesses, was held by the state in a homosexual home, and abused. Now, the civil case against Phillip could very well establish precedent to normalize and legalize child sexual abuse. Phillip joins us here and lays out the control of the battle. Powerful forces are working hard to break through the final barriers to sexual perversion. The decriminalization of pedophilia is in the works, with the support of the United Nations, the World Health Organization, and Planned Parenthood International, and is gaining momentum in many countries.

As of last week, the richest man in America is. . . Elon Musk. His company is overvalued by a factor of 200-fold. His only profit comes by regulatory credits. . . i.e., extortion from more honest car companies. How in the world did this guy’s wealth increase from $25 billion to $200 billion in just a year? How are the economic policies of the U.S. government, the Federal Reserve, and the richest men in America impoverishing the nation, while enriching the richest 400 people in the country? We compare the new breed to the Henry Fords, Sam Waltons, and Rockefeller’s of an earlier generation. 

Andy Stanley airs his doubts about infallibility and the authority of Scripture, but still wants to hold on to a shred of evidentialism for the Gospel of Luke. The slippery slope of evidential apologetics gives way to full-bore faithlessness in the ongoing apostasy of the West. This gets us back into the basis for truth and the fundamentals of our faith. Why believe God's Word? What is a good basis for believing something is true, especially when it comes to the fundamental questions relating to reality and the purpose of human existence?
