Fundamentally, the Amago Day means that every person has dignity and worth that is God-given.

So you don't look at somebody and see them as subhuman.

Even a person who has done something terrible in this world, a convicted murderer,

let's say, is not subhuman. They may be acting in a subhuman way, a beastly way, if you will,

but they're still a full-fledged image bearer, which is a really shocking thing to think through

on the face of it. But what wokeness does is it robs some people of that dignified status. And it basically

teaches white people in particular, or if you go to intersectional categories, those who

are in that oppressor position, the power of authority position. It teaches that those

people are without dignity. So Warren,

what I'm saying is the hard edge, I'm using that phrase very intentionally, the hard edge of an

ideology is where you go to see what it is really pushing. Many people don't end up in the hard

edge. Many people, for various reasons, end up backing away, praise God. But the hard edge of this movement in secular terms is evil.

It's Imago Day denying. And therefore, when Christians embrace this system, again, they may not know this.

But if they do, they're ending up embracing a system that will take them captive and cause them ultimately to deny Imago Day truths.

I'm Warren Smith, and today you'll be listening in on my conversation with Owen Strayan,

the author of the New York Times bestselling book, Christianity and Wokenness,

How the Social Justice Movement is hijacking the gospel and the way to stop it.

Support for listening in comes from Samaritan Ministries, a community of Christians who care for one another spiritually and financially when a medical need arises.

Samaritan Ministries is a biblical solution to health care, where members are committed to honoring Christ through prayer and sharing the burden of one

another's medical expenses. Just ask Cameron and Rowana, whose son fractured his wrist.

Hospital bills started to arrive, but they weren't concerned about the financial impact

because fellow members came alongside them through prayer and financial support for their medical bills.
