Raising Strong Kids in a Weak Culture | Dr. John Take on Parenting, Culture & God
Episode 154
Tuesday, 13 May, 2025

Dr. Patrick contrasts the formative education and values of his English upbringing with the troubling cultural shifts in both the UK and North America. He addresses the decline in serious reading, intellectual rigor in academia, and the consequences of abandoning timeless Judeo-Christian ethics. With references to history, humorists like Pat Condell, and economists like Thomas Sowell, he critiques misguided ideas about equality, centralized control, and cultural amnesia. Further, he unpacks one of Jesus’ most challenging teachings — turning the other cheek — examining how early Christians revolutionized society with love, courage, and integrity. A thoughtful, sometimes somber, but ultimately hopeful reflection on recovering what matters most for the health of both individuals and nations. // LINKS // Website: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/ Podcast: https://doctorjohnpatrick.podbean.com/ Biblical Literate Quiz: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/meaning-metaphor-and-allusion/ Recommended Reading list: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/book-list/ Ask Doctor John: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/ask/ LINKS: https://beacons.ai/doctorjohnpatrick
