Guest: David Mitzenmacher, Associate Pastor, Grace Baptist Church, FL

Studies are showing what you are likely seeing with your own eyes—women, particularly younger women, are “radicalizing” in their worldview. In other words, moving away from a biblical worldview.

Who was prominent on the front lines against ICE as they arrested illegal immigrants in Minnesota? Women. Who was standing outside the courthouse cheering on Lindsay Clancy during the trial for murdering her three children? Women.

Of course these examples are anecdotal. But the data is not. A social media post showed the graph of a Gallup poll plotting the political ideology of young men and young women. The headline states: “Women have moved radically leftward, at a scale and speed with no modern precedent, while men have, on the whole, remained largely steady and unchanged. The partisan gap between young men and women almost doubled in the past 25 years.”

The radicalization of young women is not simply taking place in politics; it’s moving professing Christian women in evangelical churches to take moral positions at odds with Scripture.

In his recent column titled, “We Need to Talk about the Radicalization of Young Women,” David Mitzenmacher, chairman of Founders Ministries and pastor at Grace Baptist Church in Cape Coral Florida, writes: “Young Christian women are consistently more supportive of abortion, same-sex marriage, and broader LGBTQ+ acceptance than their male peers.”

What is driving this leftward shift? What can women do to fortify themselves against the internal and external pressures to conform to the world? What should pastors, parents, and husbands be doing?

David Mitzenmacher joins us this weekend to discuss this troubling development that seeks to destroy God’s wise and wonderful design for women.
