On this Good Friday, we explore a major contradiction in today’s culture: growing openness to spirituality—from tarot to Buddhism—while Christianity is increasingly viewed as repressive or outdated. With references to Tara Isabella Burton’s Strange Rites, Tom Holland’s historical insights, and classic Christian apologetics, Cameron and Nathan unpack why this religiously remixed culture prefers personal preference over theological truth.

We also touch on Matt Dillahunty’s secular morality, the idea of “it works until it doesn’t,” and how Western values are deeply shaped by a Christian conscience—even when people reject Christ.

This episode is for Christians seeking thoughtful engagement with the culture, and for those wrestling with faith and reason in an age of consumer religion and moral confusion.
