But beneath all three stories lies a deeper question: Who inherits the West? What happens when civilizations lose their memory? What are Christians supposed to make of empire, national identity, and cultural inheritance? And what happens when institutions prioritize mission without guarding truth—or truth without pursuing mission? In this episode of The World View, Alex Kocman explores the deeper spiritual and cultural questions beneath the news cycle: myth and memory, Christ versus Caesar, and why institutions matter in the work of Christian faithfulness. Topics include: - Hollywood and the battle over cultural inheritance - The West, Christianity, and civilization - America, empire, and the longing for a kingdom - Southern Baptist tensions and institutional reform - Why doctrine and mission belong together Truth and mission are not enemies. Truth is what makes mission worth doing in the first place.
