Vishal Mangalwadi returns to challenge the pessimistic theology that has sidelined the Western church for decades. He argues that the West's decline politically and culturally stems from bad theology. We pray, “His Kingdom come and His will be done on earth,” but simultaneously, we as the church in America have retreated from leading in the culture. To move forward, Mangalwadi proposes a bold vision that begins with education reform, calling churches to reclaim their position as centers of discipleship and cultural formation. Drawing from his global experience and biblical conviction, he offers a hopeful roadmap for restoring truth and rebuilding broken nations.
