Segment 1:

• Compromised Faith: Christians who sympathize with the world’s systems reflect “Stockholm Syndrome Christianity,” per John G. West, former professor at Seattle Pacific University.

• SPU’s Roots: Founded in the Free Methodist system, but compromises have eroded its foundation.

• Recurring Patterns: How Christian institutions can drift away from truth when cultural pressures take hold.

Segment 2:

• Generational Decline: Institutions go from affirming truth, to assuming it, to abandoning it entirely.

• Women’s Roles: Compromise often begins with shifts in beliefs about women in ministry.

• Lessons from SPU: A failure to uphold biblical patterns leads to cultural capitulation—how can we learn from their mistakes?

Segment 3:

• Everything Matters: Tasks like mowing your lawn reflect anthropology and God’s design for creation.

• Higher View of Humanity: Even caring for our environment reflects biblical truths about man’s stewardship and dominion.

• Architecture’s Impact: Thoughtful design isn’t just aesthetic—it increases productivity and reflects God’s order.

Segment 4:

• A World Gone Mad: THC beer, medicinal marijuana, and the normalization of sin signal a moral decline.

• Purity is Allegiance: Virgil Walker argues the fight for purity isn’t about repression, but about loyalty to God.

• Resources for Growth: Fortis is offering free study guides to equip Christians in their walk of faith.
