Every generation faces the pull to drift from orthodoxy—to chase the thrill of false teaching or to be carried along by the cultural tide. And every generation must be reawakened to the true thrill of orthodoxy: the wonder and surprise found in rediscovering the electrifying paradoxes at the center of the Christian faith.

In this episode, Dr. Jeff talks with Trevin Wax about his book The Thrill of Orthodoxy. Wax turns the tables on the idea that Christian doctrine is narrow or outdated. Drawing from the church's historic creeds, he explains what orthodoxy is, why we can trust it, and how we often wander from it. By revealing how heresies always shrink the truth—elevating one idea at the expense of the whole—Wax shows that false teaching is ultimately dull and predictable, while orthodoxy is where the real adventure begins.

Great civilizations have risen, flourished, and fallen—leaving behind ruins, museum artifacts, and chapters in history books. Today, many wonder: Is the West approaching its own civilizational moment? A civilizational moment is the tipping point when a culture loses the very ideas and moral energy that first animated it. At such crossroads, there are only three paths:
• Renewal of the founding vision
• Replacement by a new guiding worldview
• Decline and eventual collapse

In this conversation, Dr. Jeff and Os Guinness explore the foundational question facing the modern West: Are we still connected to the truths and vision that once shaped our flourishing—or have we severed our roots and begun to fade? Os Guinness offers a sweeping yet piercing analysis of our cultural moment, tracing the forces shaping our future and the worldview battles beneath them. But this is not merely a story of crisis—it is one of clarity, courage, and hope.

For those who care about the future of the world, who long for a society that honors human dignity and freedom, and who are ready to stand for what truly matters, this episode offers both warning and invitation.
