Woke Tribalism in America has brought new tensions that threaten our unity as a nation. These tensions include conflict between red and blue states , censorship of elites  , globalism  vs. nationalism, and a conflict of values. The ease of tension will be found either a renewed tolerance for pluralism or forced conformity. 

The gospel of Jesus Christ breaks down ethnic, economic and gender barriers.  Woke tribalism creates barriers in the name of the causes of the tribal group. At its heart the gospel calls us to love every person and leaves no room for exclusive discriminatory love or hate. 

In this podcast woke tribalism is defined. The dangers of woke tribalism are also introduced including perverting the gospel of Jesus Christ, the prospect of a second civil war and authoritative socialism.  These dangers are real and pose the greatest threats to our great nation.

In this crazy world we need times to laugh and cry. Yet many have learned to suppress emotional tears when suffering loss or trauma resulting in devastating consequences. This podcast explores the benefits of crying and the dangers of  neglecting   this emotional gift.

People learn words  and their meaning from infancy and early childhood in the family unit. As  a child grows the tribal unit and institutions have a greater influence on  the meaning of words. Government , special interest groups and social media also seek to control certain narratives. In our postmodern world the meaning of words  learned through traditions and sacred documents have less influence  resulting in the loss of the wisdom of the generations. Ultimately this loss of meaning has eternal consequences and has led to much of the angst in our culture. 

Gender identity is a hot topic in our day.  Transgender values are being imposed in politics, the medical community, religious institutions,  education and in sports participation.  The vast majority of people simply recognize gender  to be genetically  determined and reject certain narratives  on the basis of their  moral beliefs.  There needs to be room for rational debate on the issues and our children need to be protected from the radical agenda of the few. 

Postmodernism has left our culture with an absence of  absolute truth.  Consequently , meaning and values come from the shifting sands of the prevailing tribal groups. This series of podcasts will explore the narratives of gender identity, new math, history,  the  welfare state, language manipulation and cancel culture as espoused by different tribal  groups. These in turn will be evaluated by truth found in scripture and creation.
