Why Western Civilization is Quietly Crumbling | Os Guinness

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Os Guinness joins Jim Daly and John Fuller to unpack the cultural and spiritual challenges facing America today. Drawing on his personal experiences in Mao’s China, historical insights, and biblical truth, Os explains how cultural Marxism, identity politics, and deep social division threaten our freedom. Yet, he reminds us that in Christ, there is hope—and now is the moment for believers to rise, speak truth, and live out the Gospel with courage. This broadcast is part of the lead-up to the new documentary Truth Rising, produced by Focus on the Family and the Colson Center, which inspires Christians to impact culture with God’s truth.
