What Is Wrong with Wokeness? With Neil Shenvi

About this episode

Kevin interviews Neil Shenvi about his book on wokeness and its implications for Christians.

In this timely interview, Kevin talks to Neil Shenvi about his new book (co-authored with Pat Sawyer), entitled “Post Woke: Asserting a Biblical Vision of Race, Gender, and Sexuality” (Harvest). What does it mean to be woke, and is wokeness still a thing Christians need to be concerned about? Where did the idea of wokeness come from? How can we spot woke ideas and respond to them with biblical fidelity? Can wokeness exist on the right as well as the left? Join Kevin and Neil as they explore why wokeness is as relevant as ever and how Christians, in the most contested issues of our day, can be shaped by the Bible instead of the world.
