Faith and Reason Exchange
David and Adam discussed the film "Surprised by Oxford" (2023), which tells the story of Caro Drake, a skeptical PhD student who confronts questions of faith and reason at Oxford University through relationships and intellectual engagement. The conversation expanded into broader themes about the decline of humanities education, the fragmentation of modern universities, and the tension between liberal arts and vocational training in American higher education.

David and Adam explore how to characterize contemporary Western culture—whether as secular, pagan, postmodern, or simply confused—and conclude that multiple descriptors apply simultaneously. They identified presentism (severing ties with the past) and progressivism as defining features, with AI emerging as a critical new factor requiring ethical engagement from Christians who cannot retreat but must remain mission-focused in the world.
