Truth, love, together.

That's the theme of the Colson Center's four-week-long virtual event featuring 20 of the leading Christian worldview thinkers of our time.

The first of five modules for the event is called What is Truth?

And today on the Breakpoint podcast, to give you a taste of module one, we're sharing with you the presentation by Oz Guinness, called The Roots of the Present Crisis.

Oz traces our nation's current political and cultural crisis back to two competing views of government and humanity.

One is rooted in the American Revolution and its biblical foundation.

The other is rooted in the French Revolution

and the subsequent Marxist revolutions in Russia and China, which will prevail, one that

acknowledges man's fallen nature and so insist upon the biblical ideas of separation of powers

and checks and balances and yet preserves ordered liberty and inalienable rights,

or one that believes that man is perfectable and that utopia can be reached by liberating

the oppressed from the oppressor.

At the end of the podcast, I'll have more information for you about our virtual event,

Truth, Love, Together, or simply go to conference.coelsencenter.org to register.

Here's Oz Guinness.

Hello, what a privilege to be with you. I've always thought that the William Wilberforce

weekend is about the most stimulating weekend in Washington. So I'm terribly sorry that we're not together

live, but this is a great privilege. Wilberforce was actually born the same year that our

Guinness Brewery was founded, and my ancestor Arthur Guinness knew Wilberforce and supported him when he was older.

So he's always been a great hero of our family, and I'll say more about that as we go on.

As you all know, the pandemic broke out at the same time as Lent and then the Jewish Passover,

which are both times of self-examination and reflection.
