How We All Came to Believe in Freedom, Kindness, Progress, and Equality, with Glen Scrivener

Host Cody Cook is joined by Glen Scrivener, an ordained Church of England minister and evangelist, to discuss his book The Air We Breathe–a fascinating and very readable account of how Christianity has profoundly shaped Western thought and morality. In both the book and in this conversation, Glen demonstrates that Western values such as equality, compassion, consent, freedom, and progress are deeply rooted in Christian ethics.

Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how Christian principles have shaped—and continue to influence—our world today. This comprehensive dialogue not only offers a historical perspective but also provides a reflective view on the current intersection of faith and culture. Don’t miss this engaging and thought-provoking episode.
