that if you look at the continents of Africa and Asia, that the church is growing at a rapid rate in those countries. And I think there are various reasons for that, but I think we are genuinely seeing that. Can I give a rebuttal to that? Sure.

Yeah, I'm going to back up. I'm going to answer that question, but I'm going to back up and say that to the kind of rebuttal of, well, we're introducing Christianity into those places. I would actually say that Christianity was there long before it was ever in the West, in that North Africa was where a lot of the major church historians come from.

Apart from the Apostle Paul, you have individuals like Athanasius of Alexandria. These are people who are Augustine. St. Augustine was a North African. Some of the most prominent individuals within early church history were from the Middle East, were from Africa. And Christianity was in Asia and Africa long before it was anywhere else.

remotely close to places like north america and so i think what we're seeing actually is not an introduction but the revival of a lot of those countries i think that's that's a fair and i think it would be both right because some places it is a revival hey let's revive right let's get the

Yeah. I think there have been a number of things that have happened in the West in the last few decades. I think we want to hold on to the fruit of our Judeo-Christian values, but we want to ignore the roots that actually grew that fruit. And so I think you can look at individuals like there's a historian named Tom Holland. He's not the Spider-Man actor. That guy is also named Tom Holland.

Not this Tom Holland. He wrote a book called Dominion. He's out in the UK. Now he's agnostic, but he, this giant like brick of a book, Dominion, and talks about the fact that

a lot of the things that we assume within our society that we consider good, even things like just the idea that humans have intrinsic worth by nature of being human, that that is fundamentally a Christian value because it comes from the biblical testimony of humans being created in the image of God.

Now, a friend of mine, Glenn Scrivener out in the UK, he runs an organization called Speak Life, wrote an excellent book that you, Patrick, need to make sure that you get your hands on called The Air We Breathe. And in The Air We Breathe, he takes a lot of this stuff that Tom Holland kind of encapsulates, and he synthesizes it into a more bite-size film. kind of portion.

And in the air we breathe, he goes through these qualities that we look at in the West in particular. Things like if you, yeah, so the subheading is how we all came to believe in freedom, kindness, progress, and equality. And that he traces those roots directly back to Christianity.

And I think one thing that's happened in the West in particular is we want to hold onto these values that are inherent to building the West. that are fundamentally Christian values, but we want to then also strip God from them. And what we're seeing, I think, in a lot of the confusion in the West is that that doesn't work.
