Skillet's John Cooper joins Kirk Cameron to discuss the weak state of the American Church due to political correctness and secularism. They explore the clash between the true God and secular humanism, the negative implications of utopia, the impact of removing Christianity from American society, and the importance of living by moral principles and raising godly families.
Christianity's weak state stems from a reluctance to boldly proclaim biblical truths and apologize for the Bible.
'Woke' ideology perpetuates oppression through new categories, leading to chaos and the abandonment of biblical justice.
Deep dives
The Problem of Wimpiness in Christianity
John Cooper argues that Christians have become wimpy, trading conviction for a desire to be 'nice,' resulting in a reluctance to boldly proclaim biblical truths and apologize for the Bible.
The Dangers of Wokeness
Cooper criticizes the concept of being 'woke,' describing it as PC culture on steroids where people view the world through the lens of victimhood and perpetuate oppression through new categories, leading to chaos and the abandonment of biblical justice.
The Clash Between God's Kingdom and Secular Utopianism
Cooper emphasizes the clash between the true God of the Bible and the false god of secular humanism. He argues that either Christ's totalizing kingdom or atheistic tyranny will prevail, as utopian ideals lead to dystopia and death, while following God's moral law leads to flourishing and life.
Kirk Cameron is joined by Skillet's John Cooper to discuss the weak state of the American Church and how political correctness, woke ideology, and mixing secularism with faith has undermined the Christian influence on culture.
