Description
The Antithesis exists to clarify the difference Christianity and every system, worldview, and religion. Armed with a big vision of God and a passion for divine grace, we help listeners to understand sound biblical doctrine and to distinguish it from ideologies that seek to take us captive (Colossians 2:8). Our burden is defensive but also offensive: we seek the destruction of intellectual and behavioral strongholds in order that we would taste the joy of a mind set free by Christ (2 Corinthians 10:3-6). Ultimately, The Antithesis seeks to aid in theological discipleship; our goal is to set the heart and mind on fire for God, and to stand immoveable in a chaotic and fallen realm.

Every Christian to the Wall: Opposing Our Generational Challenge to the Gospel

Welcome to The Antithesis with Owen Strachan. Wokeness is an evil, anti-gospel ideology. And it’s taking the Christian world by storm. “Christianity and Wokeness” is a call for every Christian to stand against this false gospel.

What Is Wokeness? Answering a Hard Question in Light of the Gospel
874
Welcome to The Antithesis with Owen Strachan. What does it mean to be woke? Wokeness is an awareness of the true nature of Western civilization, and now understand it to be a wickedly racist order. This ideology has infiltrated the church. However, the Bible teaches that we are one new man with all those who have come to faith in Christ Jesus. The blood of Christ washes repentant people and makes them one new man. We wholeheartedly reject ‘wokeness,’ and believe that God has brought people together based upon the reconciliation that God has achieved for people in Christ Jesus.
