Stockholm Syndrome Christianity

Why America’s Christian Leaders Are Failing, and What We Can Do About It* 

What if American culture isn’t collapsing merely because of crusading secularists? What if it’s faltering because many leading Christians identify more with secular elites than with their fellow believers—or even with the Bible?

These are the provocative questions posed by Dr. John West in his new book, Stockholm Syndrome Christianity. Join Dr. West for a talk and Q&A as he explores how influential Christian leaders are aligning with anti-Christian cultural captors on issues ranging from biblical authority and science to sex, race, and religious liberty.

Going beyond critique, Dr. West will uncover the root causes of this trend and—most importantly—share practical strategies we can use to help our families, churches, and communities stand firm in the truth.
