October 21, 2025
Is “wokeness” really dead? What does wokeness really mean today? Apologist Neil Shenvi is here to talk about the growing influence of critical theory in culture, the church, and the next generation. We discuss why wokeness isn’t just a passing trend but a worldview rooted in a new kind of moral framework (and worldview) that’s shaping how young people think about justice, identity, and truth. As always, Christians need to respond with both truth and grace, holding fast to biblical conviction while engaging a culture that often redefines love and justice.
