All worldviews promise knowledge, but do they deliver true knowledge or false knowledge? Using a Mercator map and a chair, Dr. Miller illustrates how worldview shapes what we confidently accept as fact, but in reality turns out to be false. In everyday language, we might say that some worldviews promise knowledge (warranted true belief), but deliver “false knowledge.” Does your worldview live up to the promise?

Today’s raZe the roof is a blast from the past when Joe Miller and Leroy Hill sat down in 2018 to unpack Bart Campolo’s break from Christianity—showing it wasn’t born in a vacuum of urban hardship.

If you want to understand how feminism has shaped the mind of American women over the last seventy years—and the cultural arc from Doris Day, to Buffy the Vampire Slayer; from Ruth Bader Ginsberg to Rosanne; fromTaylor Swift to Dylan Mulvaney, the man who Bud Light imagines is a woman—then join Joe Miller and his co-host Leroy Hill as they unpack Betty Friedan’s 1963 book, The Feminine Mystique. Her book did more than critique the suburban housewife of the Leave it to Beaver era; it succeeded in redefining womanhood and femininity in modern American life. The conversation wraps with practical guidance for Christian women seeking to stand firm and flourish in a culture saturated with sexual confusion, fear of families, and a female identity crisis.
