In this episode we review Rod Dreher’s book ‘Live not by Lies’, a title taken from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s call and example as an anti-communist dissident. Dreher warns of the dangers of ’soft totalitarianism’ in the West, and the particular challenge it poses to Christians and to the family. We discuss how to live in truth, and the merits of Dreher’s SEE, JUDGE, ACT refrain:
SEE: be awake to the realities around you
JUDGE: discern the meaning in terms of what you know to be true (and especially Christianity)
ACT: to resist evil
This is an important book which we highly recommend.
Linked to the issue of totalitarianism, we also mention the Frankfurt Declaration which we suggest that all Christians read and consider signing.

In this episode we review the BBC documentary ‘Unvaccinated’, in which the presenter Hannah Fry meets seven unvaccinated people to investigate why they have not received the covid vaccine, and to see if any of them will change their mind when challenged. We look into the background of the programme, the claims it makes (as well as what it does not mention), the experts it uses and why seeking the truth is important for us all.

About Owl & Badger
We are friends of over 20 years and we're both followers of Jesus Christ. We started this podcast in 2021 as a response to what we could see happening in our country and churches. We all have a worldview through which we see and understand the world around us. As Christians, we think it's of vital importance to observe, interpret and understand world events through a Biblical worldview. This is essentially what this podcast is about. We are not claiming to always be right, but we are seeking after truth and discernment. We hope that in some way, this will be an encouragement to you.
