How can we best prepare ourselves and our children for the challenges they will face in the world? What does it take for a young person to grow up, accept responsibility, hold down a job, and all the rest? One answer to that question is to take a “gap year”, meaning to take a year off after high school to work or serve one’s country in the military. We talk about this idea and reference an article by Erica Komisar from the Institute for Family Studies. https://ifstudies.org/blog/the-benefits-of-taking-a-gap-year

The First Sexual Revolution

Much has been written about the sexual revolution, and in past podcasts we’ve mentioned a recent book by Louise Perry called “The Case Against the Sexual Revolution”, and believe she makes a strong case that the sexual revolution was actually bad for men, women, and children. In an article posted at First Things, Kyle Harper explains how Christianity actually drove a completely countercultural sexual revolution in the first century whose effects are not only still felt today, but too often taken for granted. We explore all this and more in this episode of Empires of the Future.
