1141 - The High Places Christian Men Still Refuse to Tear Down
In this episode, Sathiya sits down with Seth Gruber, founder of the White Rose Resistance, to explore the deeper spiritual and cultural issues behind abortion, pornography, sexual addiction, and the degradation of human dignity. Drawing from Scripture’s concept of the “high places,” Seth explains how idolatry, sexual perversion, and child sacrifice are connected to the cultural battles facing the church today. Together, they examine how the abortion and pornography industries can reduce human life and sexuality to commodities, why the church must be willing to confront these issues rather than remain silent, and how spiritual compromise contributes to cultural decay. Seth also shares his personal journey from being a homeschooled teenager in Los Angeles who faced censorship for wanting to discuss abortion to becoming a pro-life activist, filmmaker, and advocate committed to challenging the church to live out its biblical convictions. This conversation offers a sobering look at the spiritual battles shaping modern culture and a call for Christians to respond with courage, truth, and conviction.
