Summary

Western culture didn’t collapse overnight—it was hollowed out, piece by piece. What was once shaped by Scripture, natural law, and a shared moral imagination has been replaced by a new orthodoxy that celebrates confusion, mocks restraint, and calls evil good. What we call “progress” is often just the oldest rebellion in fresh packaging. The idols have new names, the altars glow with screens, and the priests wear lab coats or rainbow pins, but the script is ancient: exchange the truth of God for a lie, worship the creature rather than the Creator, and call it freedom. Mike Slater takes a hard look at today’s madness through the unflinching lens of “it has all happened before”—and what Scripture actually says about a civilization that keeps choosing the same dead-end road.

Welcome to Politics by Faith. We just recorded a TV special on culture. It's my favorite thing to talk about. I love it. It's exciting. I love to see, I love to understand what's around me.

0:44.6

that gives me hope

0:45.8

that we still recognize

0:47.3

what is good, beautiful, and true

0:48.7

and appreciate it.

And that's a good thing.

0:51.1

Here's part one of our special.

1:02.7

America is the greatest country in the world. Thanks for being. Welcome to our special Culture Corrupted. Today's special is about culture and I love talking about culture because

1:10.3

we live in one, but we don't even know it.

1:13.7

My whole life, I lived in a culture but never could define it, never looked at it, never

1:21.7

analyzed it, never appreciated it, took it off for granted.

1:25.4

And every time I learn a thing about someone else's culture or my own,
