Welcome to the Eric McTaxis show with your host, Eric Mettaxas.

Hey there, folks.

You often hear me talk about how higher education in America is going to heck

in a handbasket at the speed of light. And by heck, of course, I mean hell. So whenever there's

any encouragement along those lines, perhaps, I don't know, there's a college or university

where that is not happening.

I want to let you know.

And so some of you already know that I have an affiliation.

I'm part of the Standing for Freedom Center out of Liberty University.

And I get very excited when I talk to the folks who are there,

particularly when I talk to my guest right now.

His name is Ryan Helfenbein.

He's the executive director of the Standing for Freedom Center.

The Freedom Center.

Ryan Helfenbine, welcome.

Hey, Eric, it's good to be with you as always.

And I really appreciate that introduction because in many ways, as you look across this

great nation of ours, you're seeing the fallout across academia of this, what, 20, 30, 40-year

project of deconstruction, the long march through the institutions.

It's coming everywhere. Lots of Christian universities, a long march through the institutions. It's coming everywhere.

Lots of Christian universities, so-called, formerly Christian, have gone the way of the dodo.

Well, I think, but even worse is that they, many of them still call themselves Christian.
