Is religious freedom being threatened? What is going on in Western Civilization? Os Guinness has some guides.

Travis and Os Guinness discuss humor, American vs. British culture, modernity, the state of the modern evangelical church in the West, and cultural revolutions happening all around us. Os and Travis also discuss Os's new book The Magna Carta of Humanity and how the only hope for the West is to not look at the American Revolution as a template for solving society's ills, nor is the French Revolution, which is actually much more dangerous and representative toward what is going on in our world today. There is only one solution and you have to listen in and find out!
