480: Undoing the Deception of Self-Creation and Gender Ideology. Abdu Murray Exposes How We’ve Taken Empathy Too Far, The Syrupy “Slogan-eering” of the Church, The Liabilities of Our Post-Truth Culture, and Why Identity is a Paper-Thin Idea

We are living through a crisis of clarity. In the name of empathy, we have untethered compassion from truth, traded moral courage for slogans, and reduced identity to something endlessly self-constructed. The result is not freedom, but confusion—where words lose meaning, conviction is treated as cruelty, and the church often responds with language that sounds kind but forms no one. This week on Win Today, apologist and author Abdu Murray joins me for a sober, unflinching conversation about self-creation, gender ideology, and the liabilities of a post-truth culture. We examine how empathy becomes destructive when it is severed from reality, why identity collapses when it is built on feelings alone, and how the church’s reliance on syrupy slogans leaves believers ill-equipped to engage the moment with wisdom and courage. This isn’t reactionary—it’s diagnostic. If you sense the ground shifting beneath basic definitions of personhood, truth, and meaning, this episode offers clarity without cruelty and conviction without caricature.

You’ll learn:

• Why self-creation produces fragile identities
• How empathy becomes harmful when detached from truth
• Why gender ideology collapses under its own logic
• How post-truth thinking erodes moral reasoning
• Why the church’s slogan-driven language fails formation
