Compassion in Military History: A Faith-Based Perspective

In this episode, Collin Hansen interviews Nadya Williams about her journey from a secular Jewish upbringing in Russia to becoming a Christian and a scholar. They discuss her book, ‘Mothers, Children and the Body Politic,’ which explores the historical and cultural shifts in the perception of motherhood and children. Williams argues that modern society often devalues motherhood and children, viewing them as economic burdens rather than priceless gifts. The conversation delves into the implications of these views for family dynamics, societal values, and the role of Christians in countering cultural narratives that undermine the dignity of human life.
