He further warns that the growth of “LGBT rights can only come at the expense of religious liberty.” Rod makes clear that enabling “the church to have the freedom to be the church is going to require us to engage in politics.” He emphasizes that as the “country is de-Christianized, we have to be prepared to fight for religious liberty.” Please take five minutes to watch this important video and share with others directly and via social media.

Are politics and religion completely separate? Are Leftism and Christianity diametrically opposed? Is Leftism even compatible with Christianity? Find out as Dr. Everett Piper, former president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University, tackles these questions and more in his speech “The Religion of Wokeism.”
Whether it’s defending unborn children or protecting our borders, Dr. Piper explains how conservative views coincide with Christianity. He talks about how the religion of wokeism requires us to submit ourselves to others, judge people on how they look instead of how they act, affirm detestable behavior and many more ideas that oppose a Biblical worldview. In essence, you will learn how incompatible the progressive and Christian agendas are.
Dr. Piper also delves into how our society has come to this horrible state, whether it be through irresponsible parents, corrupt pastors, or the indoctrination center that is the schooling system. Author of books such as Not a Daycare: The Devastating Consequences of Abandoning Truth and his newest book Grow Up: Life Isn’t Safe, But It’s Good, Dr. Piper leaves us with hope for the future. He emphasizes staying grounded in truth because we know God will prevail. After his speech, stick around for a fascinating Q&A where Dr. Piper eloquently answers a few burning questions.
