| 0:00.0 | It's Tuesday, June 10, 2025. I'm Albert Moller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:13.9 | The Christian and the secular understanding of history come into a clash regularly. And as we're thinking about unfolding developments, we need to just see that |
| 0:23.2 | on the left, the secular left, the predominant understanding of history is that it is a straight |
| 0:29.1 | line from oppression to liberation. Unfolding liberation, continuous liberation. So you have the |
| 0:36.5 | liberation from this form of oppression, then the liberation |
| 0:39.0 | from that form of oppression. So gender theory, the women's liberation movement, particularly |

| 1:26.4 | It is revealed in nature. So when we look at categories |
| 1:29.7 | such as, just for example, human beings and others, we understand that it's a static, ontological reality |
| 1:36.5 | that human beings are made in the image of God. We look at human beings as male and female, |
| 1:42.0 | and we would say that liberation from that is impossible. It's a |
| 1:46.3 | part of creation order. And so it's not liberation from creation order that results. It's rebellion |
