John Cooper joins the podcast to talk about his new book, Wimpy, Weak, and Woke: How Truth Can Save America From Utopian Destruction. We specifically discuss the influence of the philosophy of Hegel on the woeness we see in our culture. The increasing conflicts in America today are often referred to as “culture war.” But what is truly happening is a war between gods – the living God and the god of Man. Wimpy, Weak, and Woke uncovers the philosophies behind utopian dreams that become dystopian nightmares, and presents a positive vision for how we can thrive and flourish. The false promises of Man lead to destruction; God’s ways lead to life.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:SEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Use the code, ALISA, to get 10% off any product.www.sevenweekscoffee.comGOOD RANCHERSGood Ranchers: American Meat Delivered Use the code, ALISA, and $20.00 off your first order and 1 YEAR of FREE CHICKEN.Go to www.goodranchers.com/alisa for more information.CARLY JEAN LOS ANGELESCarly Jean Los Angeles is a capsule clothing and lifestyle brand that exists to help women simplify their closets and feel beautiful in every season of life.Use the code, ALISA, and get 20% off your first order!www.carlyjeanlosangeles.com--------------------------------------------------------------------To Purchase the new CD, “Beauty from the Ash”, go to www.alisachilders.com/musicThere you can get the CD, backing tracks, string charts, rhythm charts and stems.Support us on Patreon:  www.patreon.com/alisachildersTo order “Another Gospel”:  www.alisachilders.com/anothergospelTo order “Live Your Truth":  www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/For Alisa's Merch: https://alisachilders.creator-spring.comFor all links to Alisa’s recommended reading, visit the Alisa Childers Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/alisachildersTo see what gear Alisa uses to record her podcast, go to:https://kit.co/alisachildersPotential Sponsors: https://alisachilders.com/sponsor-request-form/Product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something we'll receive a small commission.
