  • Priests of History: Stewarding the Past in an Ahistoric Age with Sarah Irving-Stonebraker

    Priests of History: Stewarding the Past in an Ahistoric Age with Sarah Irving-Stonebraker
    Apr 10 2025
    How can Christians engage meaningfully with history?

    In an age underpinned by the idea that life is about self-invention and fulfilment, contemporary Western culture holds that the past has little to teach us. We live in an age that historian Sarah Irving-Stonebraker terms as the “Ahistoric Age,” in which we are profoundly disconnected from history.

    In the attempt to appear relevant, the church often embraces this ahistoric worldview by jettisoning the historic ideas and practices of Christian formation. But this has unintended consequences, leaving Christians unmoored from history and losing the ability to grapple with its ethical complexities.

    Sarah Irving-Stonebraker joins Hank Hanegraaff to discuss what it means to be a priest of history and why it matters more than ever for Christians to maintain this critical conversation with the past.

  • Does the West Need a Religious Revival? with David Hanegraaff

    Does the West Need a Religious Revival? with David Hanegraaff
    Mar 20 2025
    Does the West need a religious revival?

    This was the subject of a debate hosted by The Free Press at the Paramount Theater in Austin Texas on February 27th. The debate pitted two religious advocates—Ayan Hirsi Ali and Ross Douthat—against two avowed atheists—Michael Shermer and Adam Carolla—in search of an answer. The scene of current affairs in the West was set by The Free Press as follows:
    “The West has experienced a rapid erosion of our shared culture. Political polarization, loneliness, depression and addiction have surged, while marriage and birthrates have plummeted. There’s a crisis of meaning, and a growing chorus of intellectuals are pointing to secularism as the cause.

    Studies show that religious service attendance correlates with lower rates of depression, suicide and substance abuse. Religious individuals are also more likely to marry, stay married, and have children. For the first time in U.S. history, church membership among Americans has fallen below 50%. Less than a fifth of Western Europeans attend church regularly. In Sweden, over 75% of young people claim no religion at all.

    So, is the decline of religion to blame for our social unraveling? Or are rapid technological changes, growing economic inequality, and other social disruptions the culprit? And would empowering religious institutions, which have historically abused their power to stifle scientific progress, fuel war, and discriminate against perceived enemies be a mistake?

    In short, would a return to faith restore order, or simply revive old divisions?”
    David Hanegraaff traveled to Austin, Texas to cover the event—you can find his review and response here. https://www.equip.org/articles/does-the-west-need-a-religious-revival-a-review-of-the-debate-by-the-free-press-and-foundation-for-individual-rights-and-expression/

Gospel truth

As a convert who was indoctrinated with the Protestant presentation of the gospel, albeit in a abusive cult, this presentation of the Orthodox tradition of the gospel is based on that which is laid out for us in holy scripture and apostolic tradition. I admit this realignment from that which is false to that which is true has been difficult and has raised many more questions, but I encourage everyone to start here and listen to this podcast.
