Noelle Mering joins the show to discuss her new book Awake, Not Woke: A Christian Response to the Cult of Progressive Ideology.

Topics discussed include:

• The core principles of woke ideology: group over person, will over reason, power over authority

• Proof that ideology is what really matters to the woke, more than membership in a victim group

• How Frankfurt School thinkers, who combined neo-Marxism with neo-Freudianism, influenced the training of American schoolteachers

• The feedback loop between immorality, ensuing misery, and bad ideas

• Why today’s progressivism is driven to destroy innocence

• Fundamental differences between woke ideology and Christianity

• Self-knowledge and self-accusation, antidotes to the woke worldview
