Summary
When any culture starts calling good evil and evil good, Truth is the only rebellion left, says Dr. Everett Piper who served as president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University for 17 years. Dr. Piper joins the podcast to discuss how American colleges have gone from places that teach and challenge students, to facilities that coddle them and leave them fragile and easily offended. He talks about the radical departure from truth our culture has taken, and how Christians can speak up with courage and conviction.
