Episode 97. The Air We Breathe (Glen Scrivener)

Today in the west, many consider the church to be dead or dying. Christianity is seen as outdated, bigoted and responsible for many of society’s problems. This leaves many believers embarrassed about their faith and many outsiders wary of Christians and their movement. But what if the Christian message is not the enemy of our modern Western values, but the very thing that makes sense of them?

Matt talks with Glen Scrivener, author of The Air We Breathe: How We All Came To Believe In Freedom, Kindness, Progress, & Equality.

Those are distinctively Christian ideas. Christianity didn’t just turn the ancient world upside down, but continues to underpin the way our society thinks about life, worth, and meaning

In other words, Christianity has impacted our culture so profoundly that we don’t notice it’s in the very air we breathe.
