Summary
Eric Metaxas sits down with Naomi Wolf to unpack the Socrates in the City gala, the crisis of Western civilization, and why the world they glimpsed that night is worth fighting for. Together they trace how cultural elites, media, and global institutions have undermined family, faith, and free speech for decades, and why ordinary people are finally waking up in America and Europe. From the sexual revolution and feminist debates to immigration, Islamism, antisemitism, and the breakdown of civil society, this is a sober but hopeful call to defend truth, beauty, and ordered liberty while there is still time.
