About this listen

In a world that is “woke”, how many Christians are actually awake? This short theologically sound primer is a resource for pastors, ministry leaders, community leaders, and other thinking Christians that explains carefully and clearly what critical race theory and wokeness truly are, what the Bible teaches about race and ethnicity, why wokeness is distinct from Christianity and should be rejected, and how the church can work for unity based in the gospel of grace.

Owen Strachan is a respected Reformed theologian and thought leader who can help Christians:

  • Better understand critical race theory, something very few do;
  • Understand the high stakes - for the church and society at large - of wokeness as a movement;
  • Think through America’s complex past with nuance and sensitivity;
  • Study how God has made humanity one through the imago Dei;
  • Grasp the beauty of the biblical doctrine of ethnicity and “race”; and
  • Be ready to work for unity in perilous times

I am grateful for the contribution of Owen Strachan to this significant area of life in Western Society and remind Owen that this is also happening in the ‘Island’ nation of Australia (where I am from)as well as the United States and Europe 👍. The structure of the book is helpful as is the reacted message, which Owen offers throughout in different ways to underline the urgency and importance of understanding and responding to what is happening in our culture. I am very thankful for the strong and thoughtful stand taken against Wokeness together with up to date examples and helpful illustrations given from a variety of countries and situations. Owen is to be congratulated under God for clarity, research, his own personal understanding and how the Gospel of Christ and therefore the Church should respond. I thank him and God for the ongoing encouragement given. Well worth a second read and good to compare with proponents of Wokeness.

It's a great introduction to Woke culture and how it has compromised our day to day thinking and our Gospel foundation.

This is a great tool for Christians and Non-Christians to be equipped against this toxic culture that has taken the World and the Church like a storm.

I enjoyed all of this, identifying a problem that the we all as a community need to be aware of. I will be sharing this at church on Sunday.

Well said, well referenced.

Found it covered a lot of important material on the ideology and theology of Woke and was easy to understand. Learned some things hadn’t from talks heard about it. Recommended.

Excellent critique of the Woke Movement and its impact on Christians

Really helpful, great focus on the gospel and providing a biblical worldview and comparing that with wokeness.
my only complaint is with the narrator who mispronounced a number of names, including the author's!

Excellent introduction to and critique of wokeness

First, the book is quite well read. Next, there are some real insights in this volume. You can disagree with Strachan, and on a few points I did, but he is very fair, and it is worth considering his views. The real star of the book is the Bible. You discover well-loved verses from new perspectives.

Disappointingly black and white. Makes far too many assumptions on either side and the arguments could be stronger. Good enough for many christians, however not meaty enough for deep thinkers.

Not nuanced enough
