Can the Sun Rise on the West Again? | Vishal Mangalwadi

Vishal Mangalwadi returns to challenge the pessimistic theology that has sidelined the Western church for decades. He argues that the West's decline politically and culturally stems from bad theology. We pray, “His Kingdom come and His will be done on earth,” but simultaneously, we as the church in America have retreated from leading in the culture. To move forward, Mangalwadi proposes a bold vision that begins with education reform, calling churches to reclaim their position as centers of discipleship and cultural formation. Drawing from his global experience and biblical conviction, he offers a hopeful roadmap for restoring truth and rebuilding broken nations.Main Topics:Why Western Christianity adopted a pessimistic eschatology—and the cultural costHow the church turned to a private faith and ceded culture to secularismMangalwadi's plan to renew culture through biblically rooted educationJoin us to explore how the church can recover its cultural voice and help replant biblical roots in today's world.View the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!Learn More about the 2025 DNA Forum in Panama
