Is “wokeness” really dead? Apologist Neil Shenvi is here to talk about the growing influence of critical theory in culture, the church, and the next generation. They discuss why wokeness isn’t just a passing trend but a worldview rooted in a new kind of moral framework one that’s shaping how young people think about justice, identity, and truth. Rising LGBTQ+ identification rates and debates about gender, oppression, and compassion, mean that Christians need to respond with both truth and grace, holding fast to biblical conviction while engaging a culture that often redefines love and justice. *Get a MASTERS IN APOLOGETICS or SCIENCE AND RELIGION at BIOLA (https://bit.ly/3LdNqKf) *USE Discount Code [SMDCERTDISC] for 25% off the BIOLA APOLOGETICS CERTIFICATE program (https://bit.ly/3AzfPFM) *See our fully online UNDERGRAD DEGREE in Bible, Theology, and Apologetics: (https://bit.ly/448STKK) FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Twitter: https://x.com/Sean_McDowell TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sean_mcdowell?lang=en Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seanmcdowell/ Website: https://seanmcdowell.org
