## Resource

Right Response Ministries opens with Judges 21:25 and argues that Western civilization—built on Greek philosophical inquiry, Roman law and statecraft, and centrally Christianity as the coherent foundation and telos—is now dead, having been supplanted by a “new religion.” The hosts trace early challenges through nominalism (William of Ockham) and the Enlightenment’s elevation of autonomous human reason, citing the French Revolution’s “worship service to human reason” at Notre Dame and later liberal theology’s rationalizing of Christian claims. They contend post–World War II statism and the sexual revolution further replaced Christian presuppositions, with egalitarianism as liberalism’s driving engine. Joel Webbon describes combating “personal liberalism” through a schooling decision, criticizing coeducation as practical egalitarianism. They call Christians to honest assessment without despair, framing the task as rebuilding after destruction (Ezra and Nehemiah), not merely defending, and encouraging institutional rebuilding with Christian hope. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:**Genesis Gold Group*Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com *Backwards Planning Financial*Want to build a financial legacy for your family with a plan that starts at the end goal?
