Episode 19

Wokeness

Published on: 30th June, 2023

In today’s podcast we go into a spirited discussion about the “Woke” vs. “Anti-Woke” culture in America. This culture has brought about quite the divide and goes against the very nature of our faith. We will discuss how the Country seems to be over it and how some major corporations have lost millions due to it. Regardless of your stance, this “Wokeness” mentality has brought about a wake of destruction and division, we will examine how as believers we should be focused on being “Woke” only to the one thing that matters… Jesus Christ.
