- Tom Holland often lays out the possible futures of the West. There's progressivism cut loose from Christianity; there's an anti-woke backlash; and there's Christian revival. But which will it be? Glen Scrivener discusses.

35:42 Yes, Amen. Our views should be robustly Christian. Not just post-Christian ideas dressed up in Christian language.
42 and a baby Christian, thanks to my 12 Year Old daughter bringing me to Christ. so I'm 100% voting C.
❤🙏 That’s a beautiful testimony 😊 Blessings to you and your daughter ❤️
Welcome to the family of God!
Well done that 12 year old! And, yes, C) for the win!

Please make a video about it, your testimony is important, God bless ❤
We are experiencing the Prodigal Son not only individually, but collectively.
And we know how its gonna end
Families? Yes. Young unmarried, unskilled men? No. I was involved in an 18 month sponsorship of a Muslim family to Canada. However, any country must limit who can enter, especially if they don’t assimilate. Entire Christian empires (the entire Asian orient and Middle Eastern ones) have disappeared into the dust.
Really interesting, helpful and challenging analysis, Glen. Keep doing these videos on these sorts of topics. They are meeting me where I’m at as a soul searching millennial, anxious about the future and clinging onto my faith in Christ as my only hope in a very messy and broken world
Keep going yourself, Emma. Jesus truly is the Lens through which we can see.
What people forget so often is not to fear. Me too sometimes but Jesus talked about it a lot for a reason, and fear sends everyone away from trust in God. Christianity can't die - if it could it never would have gotten started in the first place. God bless.
So true.
Excellent reminder!
@@SpeakLifeMedia thank you! :)
Love this episode Glen- and your channel as a whole - thank you for your insights.
Thanks for the encouragement :)
This is an excellent video and a real call to action at the end. The nature versus grace perspective on the Nietzschean v Progressive futures is particularly insightful.
Thank you :)
My social media feed includes Speak Life and Reformed mythologist, I so glad!
*chef's kiss* as always Glen. Thank you for constantly reminding just that Jesus' way is higher.
Greeting s Pastor Glenn! I am in strong believer in controlling immigration and how it can affect the overall consensus and Poland is a great example of this. Radicals are coming in by the troves in the US here and this nation has fallen from God's grace. As believers, we are to love God first and people second by evangelizing to the lost because it is our duty. May we be family of Christ to be intolerant and noncompromising in faith.

Widows, infants, poor, foreigner but he concentrated 80% on the foreigner. One reason why Nigel Farage talks about immigration is because of the first 3 not receiving enough support. The other reason is that the radical Muslims that come in through illegal immigration literally hate the west's Christian given way of life and would love to destroy it.
Radicals have already been in the US even without illegal immigration
Culturalist is a more fitting term for Nigel Farage than racist.
Option B frightens me. I need to pray for more of C.
We all do. Stopping to do that now...
Great video, thanks. Lots to think about here.
This is very wise. Thanks Glenn.
As a Christian I feel called to help people in need. I do not feel called to help people on the take and especially not when those people show a higher propensity towards serious crime and, worse, bring with them a vicious, colonising, overbearing and wholly unchristian faith.
Who are ‘those people’? There is a lot of unpleasant generalisation in your comment.
@@annieschlater1534généralisations apply broadly but not universally, of course, there’s plenty of statistical evidence across European countries to fully justify the generalisation. Go learn about Sweden, Germany, France.....
@@shelleyscloud3651so as I feared you were singling out Muslims. I think the Christian story is the full revelation of God but there is light in other faiths. Negative generalisations of over 2 billion people worry me.
@@annieschlater1534 I am not personally singling out anyone. The data singles out the story, which as you raised it yourself shows you know very well the problem. And as unpleasant as that may be to swallow, i promise you, denying the truth has far more unpleasant consequences, as countless thousands of European women can testify. Where is your compassion for them? Or are they merely collateral damage? Literal human sacrifices.
As to your syncretism, I suggest you put some time into actively learning more about the religion you speak of. And as a declared Christian I also suggest you consider the words of Jesus in John 14:6 alongside the warning of Rev 3:15. Finally, I repeat, generalisations apply broadly but not universally.
@@annieschlater1534 the islamic ideology is primarily to destroy all false cults(including Judaism and Christianity). So no matter what happens, if a person believers in Allah, Muhammad is his final messenger and the Quran as Allah's divine words sent down to through Muhammad for all mankind and claims to be in any of the Islamic dominion, then he is a closeted enemy that is going to destroy you no matter how good are you to him
Ok, my robustly Christian take on the immigration issue, since you asked: I think the problem of how to deal with immigration is bound up closely with the problem of putting responsibility for the well-being of our society more and more into the hands of the state/government/Westminster- call it what you will. So many people are arguing about what OTHER PEOPLE should be doing to fix the problem. As a Christian I believe that we are called to exercise our own personal freedom and responsibility to help others. That doesn’t just mean the freedom and responsibility to cast a vote every five years. We are supposed to roll our sleeves up as a society and get stuck into the problem. We should be working together and utilising our various gifts to find solutions. I could go on at length about what that looks like but this isn’t the place to do so. Just saying, we should be labouring under Christ, not State tutelage. We should be taking personal responsibility instead of casting fingers about like Adam and Eve. We should be working to build the kingdom of God, not the kingdom of Mammon. The drivers of emigration are poverty, exploitation and war. Plenty of rich Western Christians prop up the circumstances of those drivers through wilful economic ignorance. You reap what you sow. I believe that’s in the Bible.
What happens when former Christian countries become Islamic majority countries? Is it racist to not want that to happen?
The Incontrovertible truth that transcends this age is that Jesus is the way, the only way. A country staying Christian gives more people the chance to get to know Christ. Islam quickly and almost completely closed dat opportunity, and they r fundamentally focused on pushing and violently enacting their agenda, without the compunction associated with d naive and gullible souls of Christian or post-Christian nations. They just don’t have those values of anti-racism or equality.
If by former Christian countries you mean predominantly Christian populated nations like the United States and UK, then no, that’s not happening, especially not at the scale you’re expecting.
It'll never happen the Muslim birthrate is only around 40% higher and it's declining
As simplistic as giving money to a drunk and thinking he is going to spend the money on food.
If we can find some humility - then C
Very interesting
David Tennant didnt randomly select an anti LGBT politician to spak against. This video leaves out the fact that she was minister for equalities at the time
Interestingly enough the School Of Life channel pointed this misuse of words the harm it will do a number of years back also (not sure how long ago it was)
Where does The Bible talk about equality?
Does option "B" stand for "Based?"
I have a Christian friend high up in the church who tells me that Islam is invading the West, therefore we must support the war in Gaza, if innocent children die then this is unfortunate but Hamas did start it and what do they expect. As a fellow Christian I find his views repulsive…but they are shared by many right wing Christian’s, I bet for instance the ARC conference did not mention a compassion for children of Gaza…it’s all support for Israel no matter WHAT.
When it comes to prediction i would rely heavily on the theory of multiverses.😊
Integration of Nature and Grace is coming
I think Scripture points to an end time that encompasses revival and rampant evil going on together. Peter quoted Joel’s prophecy to indicate that kind of future. So yes option D looks about right. Never the less I will be praying for C.
why did it take 10-15 years? what's the evidence for the truth of the thesis?
I think we'll see the King at confession yet
Regarding your point about immigration, my view is that the Christian response should come from a position of what is most loving, and this is quite context-dependent, as you alluded to in your example with the two Ukrainian families.
If you are a 'materialist' in the broadest sense, then the primary (maybe not the only) way of loving someone may be to meet their material needs. This line of thinking can lead to the conclusion that the 'kindest' or most 'loving' thing to do is let as many immigrants in as possible, assuming their material prosperity increases, only stopping at the point where this isn't true on some large scale.
But with a Christian hat on, I am not sure you can take that route. I'd argue that material prosperity takes second place to community, love, and spiritual' matters (or something we could debate about that is the pinnacle of what love is). For example, is it loving to break apart a small local community in a far-off land and bring a person to a land with no community to integrate into, no love amongst neighbours, merely an isolated individual? That person will likely be better off materially, but is that the measure of a loving thing to do in the Christian framework? I am not sure it is. There are nuances to this that I do not have time to go into, but it seems to me that local-level immigration (hospitality, as you put it), the welcoming people into homes with all the difficulties that entails, is more loving than it is to have the immigration safely put away in hotels or away from sight in some way.
Love is not easy when we have to do it at our expense to living, breathing human beings; saying loving things about abstract humanity, abstract concepts, or numbers of immigrants is much easier. Just as giving £10 to a homeless charity is much easier than getting to know, love, and come alongside a homeless person and to stand by them as they suffer, etc.
There is certainly a place for material comfort in love, but perhaps not the one most people think of. I dunno, I am thinking out loud here, but I would be very interested in what you think. There is always more to say.
Beyond God and Evil
I disagree with you slightly about your nature argument with transgender ideology. The nature argument in many ways is an argument about what paradigm will determine science and scientific investigation… will it be based out of a subjective interpretation of reality or an objective interpretation of reality? I am convinced that the world view that Christianity embraces is the latter. If one interprets reality from a subjective perspective then there is no law, there is no forgiveness, there is no grace!
There's no such thing as "transgender ideology" any more than there's a left-handed ideology or an autistic ideology. Trans people exist and always have. You can hate them and ruin their lives, or you can accept them as you would a left-handed person
I tend to think that we hang in a balance and if we don't turn back to Christ the west will burn. What that looks like though... well, that's up for grabs
Public/Private partnerships are the ultimate form of fascism.
social media companies meeting with intelligence agencies all the time freaks me out.
fascism is very hard to define
You'd have to define fascism for this one. Last I checked it was more than an economic model, but also required some ideological foundations like worship of the state/leader, not just who owns a company.
@sonnybrakes8496. Agend@ 2030 started with Wall Street/ city of London back in the 1940’s. Who funded Hitler, who spread the propaganda after ww2 to change the narrative/ myth. The result is correct from T Holland but the hidden forces he can’t see as he’s a product of historian by the winners.
