In this episode of "Beneath the Headlines," host Mike Woodruff interviews Glen Scrivener, an Australian writer, pastor, and apologist currently living in the UK. The conversation centers around Scrivener's book "The Air We Breathe" which explores how modern Western values like human rights, equality, progress, and compassion are deeply rooted in Christian thought and tradition.

Key points discussed include:

How many secular intellectuals (like Tom Holland, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and Louise Perry) are reconsidering Christianity's role in shaping Western civilization
Scrivener's "3-2-1" course, a digital evangelism program that has reached thousands
The current state of Christianity in different regions (particularly England, Australia, and America)
The potential future directions of Western society, including both secular and religious trends
The challenge of connecting modern secular values back to their Christian origins

The conversation offers an interesting perspective on how Christianity continues to influence modern thought, even among those who don't identify as religious, and discusses the current cultural shifts happening around faith and secularism.
