Episode notes
The 2025 Graduation Peak
- The 2025 high school graduating class is the largest in American history, but from now on the numbers will decline sharply.
- This decline reflects a significant demographic cliff caused primarily by falling birth rates with social and educational implications.
Demographic Decline as Worldview Crisis
- The falling birth rate is not just a demographic problem but reflects a deeper worldview and theological crisis.
- Rejecting marriage and family signals a rebellion against creation order with broad societal consequences.
Trusting God Amid Suffering
- Christians should recognize suffering and death as real and not good, yet trust God's absolute sovereignty and goodness.
- Remain honest about pain but hope in Christ's victory and ultimate revelation of God's glory.
