Why Young Christians Are Drawn to Socialism w/ Dr. Thaddeus Williams


Listen Later

Monique is joined by Dr. Thaddeus Williams, professor at Biola University, for a deep dive into a conversation of socialism versus capitalism from a biblical perspective. They discuss why many young Christians, particularly those aged 18-29, are drawn to socialist ideas. They unpack the misconceptions about socialism, its historical track record, and how it aligns—or conflicts—with biblical principles. Discover why 60-62% of young Americans view socialism favorably and explore the dangers of blending socialist ideology with Christian theology.
They tackle tough questions: Is wealth inherently exploitative? Can markets exist under socialism? How should Christians approach justice and helping the poor? This thought-provoking discussion challenges bumper-sticker slogans and encourages viewers to love God and the poor with both heart and mind.
