What messages are shaping the beliefs and identities of our children? Dr. Carol Swain shares her testimony and personal experiences in academic institutions. Despite growing up in rural poverty in southern Virginia, she worked diligently and went on to receive her PhD and became a tenured associate professor of politics and public policy at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. Dr. Swain grew up with a firm belief that she could do anything she set her mind to, regardless of her ethnicity or background. "The messages I received as a child were very different from what we tell children today. I grew up believing I lived in the greatest country in the world. I believed that if you work hard, you can make something of yourself," she told Pastor Allen. In this podcast, they reflect on how Marxism, gender identity, and critical race theory are poisoning the minds of students today, and how parents can help their children survive a system that tells them success is determined by the shade of their skin. This episode reminds us that our true identity comes from God, and we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength — no matter what privileges we may lack.
