DR. JOHN WEST - The Evangelical Betrayal: How Christian Leaders Developed Stockholm Syndrome

Dr. John West is the Vice President at the Discovery Institute and author of "Stockholm Syndrome Christianity." In this conversation, he exposes how prominent evangelical leaders have compromised biblical truth for cultural acceptance. The discussion reveals shocking examples including Francis Collins using tax dollars to harvest aborted baby parts and evangelical institutions abandoning biblical marriage.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. Francis Collins funded harvesting aborted baby parts from 8-42 weeks with tax dollars
2. Over 70% of Seattle Pacific University faculty voted against biblical marriage
3. Stockholm Syndrome Christians look more like secularists than historic Christianity
4. The biggest predictor of intergenerational poverty is broken families
5. Supreme Court gay marriage ruling came from a devout Catholic, not an atheist
6. Christian boards often fail by lacking courage to uphold biblical standards
