Hour 1: Awake Not Woke
The long-simmering crisis that grips our culture has exploded in recent years, leaving us divided and intransigent. Discourse seems futile when we are no longer a people with shared principles or even a shared understanding of reality. What seems obvious to one person is patently absurd to the next. This collapse of meaning is not accidental. It has been plotted and documented for decades, and now presents in its current form as Woke ideology. Join us as our guest unmasks this ideology by examining its history, major players, premises, and tactics, showing us that “Wokeness” at its core is an ideology of rupture and a war against Christianity.
Hour 2: Prayers, Pets and People
Join us for a full hour of news and opinions. We start with the headlines and then learn how to pray for the largest group of influencers in the world – those in the entertainment business. We finish the hour learning how some want to grant “rights” to rivers and animals. We also will hear what can and cannot be sold on a major website. No question about it – your prayer list will lengthen after our discussion!!
