  • Light Over Darkness. Wrapping Up the Refuting of Rainn Wilson’s Book, Soul Boom. Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution.

    In this pivotal 100th episode,  host, Rebecca Berschwinger, brings to a close the enlightening series refuting the popular yet misleading book “Soul Boom. Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution.”

    Standing firm in the truth of the Scriptures, she dissects the author’s vision of utopia—a world where religious boundaries blur into a unified theory which outright ignore the reality of sin and mankind’s fallen nature.  The author’s idea of a world at peace sans wars, rich in cultural harmony, etc. sounds beautiful, but there’s a twist..

    Rebecca concludes the dissection of “Soul Boom” with a stern yet compassionate appeal to it’s author, Rainn Wilson, fervently expressing the necessity of recognizing Jesus Christ’s role in our eternal destiny.
