Safe Spaces and the Coddling of American Students, with Dr. Everett Piper

I heard out of Dr. Piper's mouth, almost word-for-word some thoughts that have been formulating in my own mind as I've been observing our culture. Thank you for this EXCELLENT interview diagnosing the times.

Thank you for this discussion. Yes, check out all levels of Christian education before enrolling your children. Many of our Christian schools in Canada are implementing a Respecting Diversity: sexuality and gender Identity ' policies. Many parents have protested the policies as they have been written, but school boards seem unwilling to even discuss changes to the policies. Some parent committees have had to take legal action to even open the discussion as the school administration was unwilling to cooperate. I fear that is where it will also go in the school I currently work. The comfort is that God know all. He is sovereign.

As to beginnings; I remember in HS and undergrad in the 70's having the attitude "I pay your salary". I was a child of the late 60's and thought questioning any authority was the the right thing to do. This "you work for me" point of view made the questioning legitimate. Sad that my mainline church did not provide Christ centered teaching on this instead of tacit approval. Great discussion. Thank you both. Will read Radical Son: A Generational Odyssey.

Ughhhggg it's a horrible practice. I know a kid who has a room full of participation ribbons not one of them not win, place or show, ( sorry been watching the triple crown horse racing). Parents out kids in sport just to occupy their time not because they have a gifting in athletics. Kids are just handed things instead of earning them . How is that helpful.

(31:48) _The lgbtq narrative is that we are defined subjectively rather than objectively. That we're going to define ourselves by our feelings rather than the facts. That if you feel it, that is who you are. In other words we've made human identity nothing but the sum total of human inclinations, passions, proclivities, ... your libido defines you . Christians of all people should understand that we must be defined by our Lord not our libido. If we are in Christ, we are a new creation-behold the old has gone the new has come. We must be born again. You mustn't be too easily satisfied with being "born that way". The whole message of the Gospel is that when you're baptized you die and you rise again with life in Jesus Christ. So the the old person with its passions, proclivities, inclinations are the antithesis of what it means to be a human being especially within the church_ -Dr. Everett Piper

As a Christian feminist myself, this was moving. Dr. Piper could not be more spot-on. This is exactly what sensible feminists have been saying about this ideology since the early 2010s. My advocacy for women and girls and my faith in Jesus as our Lord and Savior are inextricably intertwined, in the same exact way that abolitionists' love for Black Americans was intertwined with their faith. God commands us to love all and treat everyone with respect, including women, because women are image-bearers of God just as much as men. We have different roles, but that does not mean we are unequal in the eyes of God. If we pretend that we can become another sex, if we participate in the idea that "gender" exists, or if we say that males can become us, we are denigrating God's great design.

[@golvic1436]

True Christians run to the futile fight giggling in joy, because God wins those fights to prove His glory. Don’t ever fear the cult of Man, the woke mob. They have already lost the fight because Christ won on the cross. Start acting like it. When they persecute you have joy because when they do you know you are on the side of Christ, and if you are with Christ, He is with you, and if He is with you who can stand against you?

[@Jaxxie1981]

I don't totally agree that all "safe spaces" are a bad thing. For example, men and women are intrinsically different and I think it's okay to have gender- specific Bible study groups. One caveat - oftentimes these groups are used as a gossip-fest. Typically women complaining about their husbands and children, which I don't think is okay. But this generation of everyone needing an echo chamber or a trigger warning has gotten out of hand entirely.

His position is fundamentally flawed. He claims to be against safe spaces and for free speech in colleges. However, he concludes his argument by telling parents to make sure to send their adult children to colleges that will not challenge their beliefs. This infantilization is exactly what he claims to be against.

[@pammichel8314]

I think you misunderstand his position. He recommends finding out if a college questions popular ideologies behind things like BLM, CRT, etc or if they've bought in & teach these ideas as truth without regard for scripture.

[@Melanie-yb1bz]

That's exactly my point. He says college isn't a daycare. Sending your 18-year-old to a college that exists to perpetuate your own specific religious ideology IS coddling them and treating them like children.

[@pammichel8314]

@Melanie no, sending your kids to a college that only teaches the current secular ideologies without discussions of an alternative Biblical worldview is indoctrination. Most colleges now teach a one-sided secular view. Dr. Piper is saying to make sure the Christian college you're looking at has not succumbed to teaching secularized views without ALSO teaching how to discern issues according to scripture. This is not "infantilization." This is teaching them to think from more than one viewpoint.

[@cynthialewis3785]

Melanie, his position is not flawed. He stands on Biblical truth and is telling parents to check the beliefs of the school they send their children to. In addition, when a student does attend a Christian school, the truth will be taught and it may go against his or her previously held beliefs.

[@miyo19len96]

I actually agree with you. We cannot ask other people to do what we are not willing to do ourselves. If we want other people to face the challenge, we need to face our views being challenged, too. However, there is a fundamental difference in that our culture heavily leans towards one side and unless one decides to go full on Armish every Christian is confronted with different worldviews as soon as they take a step out of their door whereas most Non-Christians might live a mostly unconfronted life. As the only professing Christian in my class (in a Catholic School) I was challenged to think about my faith critically throughout all of Middle and High School and I think I read a good deal of Non-Christian as well as straight out Atheistic literature. I don't think Piper doesn't want Christians to get challenged. I think he knows of the challenges Christians face every day and his emphasis is for people to check beforehand whether the University that states that they are "Christian" actually teaches Orthodox Christianity or some fake product. Not everything that says "Christian" actually has Christian in it. ;) But again I agree with you that we should let our views be challenged and hopefully it will help us understand one another better. Have a good one!

[@BigAl53750]

I believe that we are called to follow Jesus Christ and He was killed. Yet that was and is a victory. I believe many Christians don’t grasp that whether or not they die, they still win the victory either way. From the world’s point of view, this is a defeat, but from God’s point of view it is a victory. “Revelation 12:11 KJV And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
