About the video:
With Mike Winger and Corey Miller:
Time: 1:35:28
Streamed live on Jan 8, 2026
The kids go to school and learn ideologies that undermine the Christian faith. Later they end up voting, teaching, and running the country with those ungodly ideologies directing them. This has been going on for a while now and the results are devastating. But we can turn the tide if we just stop sleeping on this. Where education goes, the country goes. In this video we are going to outline not only the problem but the solutions we can all participate in, to take back universities for Christ and change our country.

Video Notes:
Mike: What is the problem?
Corey: As goes the Universities so goes the culture, as goes the US Universities so goes the world?
Corey: Two things that happen in College, to Christians
- Temptation – ex Frat Row
- Philosophy, Darwinism – anti Christian worldview – equals why am I holding back
Corey: the heart cannot embrace what the mind cannot believe
Corey: Richard Weaver – Ideas have consequences. “bad ones make victims and good ones transform lives, society and civilizations.”
14:20
Mike: Truth itself is being threatened, ex. Your Truth
15:30 The issue of controlled speech
Corey: 48% support campus speech codes = list of words that thou shall not say, anything that may hurt a person.
81% believe that speech is a form of psychological violence.
33% physical violence is justified to prevent hate speech
66% hate speech = anything that may be considered hurtful to a particular person
Mike: It should be shocking, the idea that your speech is violent and therefore I can be violent in response to your speech.
18:30
Corey: We are in a revolution today, that comes from ideological ideas from the Universities.
1636 Harvard started – majority were attending to missionaries and ministers
Until 1840 US college presidents were also a member of the clergy
By 1880 church and chapel attendance were still required but that’s when the battle begins for 50 years
PHd’s all overseas, mostly germany Kant, Marx, Nietzsche, Freud etc.
scientific naturalism takes over
1930’s second revolution
60’s 70’s critical theory starts taking over
Prizes are academia, media and ecclesia
Today liberal to conservative professors ratio is:
12 to 1 those retiring
23 to 1 those that got tenure
27 to 1 ivy league
99% harvard 98% princeton 97% yale
70 to 1 in religion
Explicit:
Marxists 18%
Activists 20%
Radical 24%
“Parents and Grandparents are literally paying for the apostasy of their own children, and future leaders and the downfall of America”
24:00
Mike: I will be getting more political in the future because I see the root of the tree and it’s antithetical to my Christian Worldview
The first ideological revolution was scientific naturalism
Truth was objective but only through science.
Today, Stalin – ideas are more powerful than weapons = the root of cancel culture
Corey: Knowledge is a social construction of reality
29:08
What are the core tenants in the universities that are worrisome:
Corey: Scientific Naturalism still invades the hard scientists
Nature is all that is, was or ever will be, known through sense perception
Cultural Marxism is now taking over even in the hard sciences
Truth is all relative
33:00
Mike: the second you challenge truth, you inherently make a claim that is self contradictory
44:06
Corey: It doesn’t look good, but there is a way forward
46:11
Mike: What are the on the ground things that need to happen both short term and generational long term for us to totally change everything?
Answer: We can’t be defeatist.
Corey: Rod Drear says that the culture war is over and we lost, I say NO.
Talked to Albery Mohler who turned Southern Evangelical Seminar from a Liberal institution and turned it.
Alvin Plantiga – God is no longer dead in philosophy.
Mike: I love this so much, these are proof of concept ideas that shows that this can really happen.
The New Atheists reigned for about 20 years.
Now Dawkins is fearing something worse.
49:51
Corey:Where we’re at: It’s not just that Christianity is false, it’s now looked at as hateful, oppressive, wicked.
We need to show that Christianity is good for the world, not just good for heaven, and that it is reasonable and that is true.
Which is where Ratio Christi comes in.
Jesus said to love God with your heart, soul and mind.
It’s high time that we resurrect the life of the mind.
We are training PHd students to be salt and light in the institutions.
59:29
James Tour and William Lane Craig are our RC mentors
1:00:40
Corey when teaching philosophy and communicating his worldview:
I am an apprentice of Jesus, and I think that Christianity is superior to all competing world views.
1:02:00
Mike: Ratio Christi people are the kind of people I get excited about
1:15:00 – 1:18:00
Corey: We need our churches and youth groups to be thinking about this
Youth pastors, think about a Ratio Christi college prep club.
1:18:27
Best and Worst universities concerning Christian Worldview:
Harvard – their moto until 1936 was “Truth for Christ in the Church” lasted for 300 years.
Their lead chaplain is now an atheist.
Yale: moto “Light and Truth”
Queer Theology in the Yale Divinity School
Princeton: Peter Singer – the unsanctifying of human life, book
Calvin, Wheaton and Biola:
Calvin is gone, Wheaton is going, and Biola – we’ll know in a decade.
Grove City – professor in psychology “stay woke”
Corey:
Biola has been under tremendous pressure lately.
They had an entire DEI department
My heart is for Biola, we cannot lose Biola.
We can’t keep losing these institutions.
1:28:40
Corey:
We have got to watch and guard, like a hawk, mission drift, and challenge the leadership when they’re not doing it.
And then we have to practice this long march through the institutions, and infiltration back into academia, now.
1:29:00
Mike: Paraphrase: What if Ratio Christi represented institutional donors when Christian schools drift from the Christian Worldview?
