Summary

Dr. Erwin Lutzer joins the podcast to talk about his new best-selling book, The Eclipse of God. In this encouraging conversation, we discuss culture, the culture war, and the very real spiritual battle Christians are in. Dr. Lutzer touches on topics like speaking truth in love, living faithfully in a culture of distractions, and what to do when culture brings the war to our doorsteps. He also shares some history about the corrosive influence of Darwin, Freud, and Marx. ------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:SEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Go to www.sevenweekscoffee.com for more information.Use my code: ALISAFOUNDATION WORLDVIEWFoundation Worldview creates curriculum series that will empower your child to thinkBiblically in a deceptive world.Go to www.foundationworldview.com for more information!Use my code: ALISASUMMITGive your kids a stronger foundation to embrace a biblical worldview.Go to www.summit.org for more informationUse my code: ALISA25--------------------------------------------------------------------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/another-gospel/To order “Live Your Truth": www.alisachilders.com/live-your-truth-and-other-lies/To order “The Deconstruction of Christianity”: https://alisachilders.com/the-deconstruction-of-christianity/For Alisa's Merch: https://alisachilders.creator-spring.comTo 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.

0:00.0	of course, Freud, because his view of sexuality, that there should be no laws, that the highest
0:06.7	pleasure is actually sexual pleasure, and therefore he opened the door even to pedophilia
0:13.8	and so forth. And I believe, I hope I'm wrong, that's the next domino that is going to fall.
0:20.2	We are in a war, and we see it very clearly.
0:23.9	And one of the things that we who are in the ministry have to do is to help people to know
0:28.4	where to draw the lines. And the question always comes down to this. What does faithfulness
0:33.5	look like in a culture that has lost its way?
0:44.8	Yeah. look like in a culture that has lost its way. Well, hey, everyone.
0:46.0	Welcome to today's show.

1:27.0	They want to practice their faith quietly
1:29.1	and kind of keep their opinions to themselves when it comes to ethics or how we might engage
1:33.9	politically. And then on the other extreme, you might have Christians that are putting too much
1:38.9	faith in, let's say, our engagement in politics or maybe too much hopeful optimism in our ability to
1:46.4	completely change culture as Christians. And today I'm talking with Dr. Irwin Lutzer, who of course
