Postmodernism Didn’t Work. What’s Next? | Dr. Bob Osburn

Ideas Have Consequences

A secular worldview shaped the West since the Enlightenment–but it’s beginning to unravel. Dr. Bob Osburn talks with us about why postmodern ideologies are collapsing—and how Christianity offers a compelling return to reality. This is a timely conversation for anyone wondering how the church can rise to meet our cultural moment with clarity, courage, and hope.

Main Topics:

1. The Decline of Secular Ideologies – Why movements like DEI and “wokeism” are fading and what it reveals about our cultural foundations
2. Christianity as a Return to Reality – How biblical truth offers a framework for human dignity, freedom, and flourishing
3. The Church’s Opportunity – Why now is the time for Christians to engage culture with a holistic, Scripture-rooted worldview
