In this episode, pastor, author, and Christianity Today columnist Andrew Wilson uses the acronym W.E.I.R.D.E.R. (W-western, E-education, I-industrialized, R-rich, D-democratic, E-ex-Christian, R-romantic) to explain how our Western culture is distancing itself from Christianity, even though Christianity is the foundation of Western society. He discusses seven major developments from the year 1776— globalization, the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, the Great Enrichment, the American Revolution, the rise of post-Christianity, and the dawn of Romanticism—and explains their relevance to social changes happening today. Listen in as Andrew helps us understand why many aspects of our society feel unfamiliar right now and calls us to intentionally operate in our Christian values. Resources
