417 - Three Things Christians Must Do to Rebuild Culture (Touchstone talk)

This talk took place at the 2025 Touchstone conference, Great and Wonderful Days: Rediscovering the Christian Life in a Post-Christian Age. The title of my talk was “This is the Day”. <br />https://www.touchstonemag.com/<br /><br />Original YouTube version: https://youtu.be/cnMk_GFpVbw<br /><br />I explore how our modern world—built on endless disruption and self-expression—has reached its breaking point. We’re witnessing the collapse of a culture that forgot its source, but that’s also at the beginnings of renewal. From art and architecture to worship and storytelling, I share how Christians can remember, celebrate, and create once again—recovering beauty, meaning, and participation in the divine order. This is a moment of opportunity: to rediscover Christ as the pattern of reality and rebuild culture on that foundation.<br /><br />The Symbolic World Enters Paradise<br />Join me and Deacon Seraphim Rohlin this November in our course on Dante's Paradiso.<br />-Course length: 5 weeks, 15 hours<br />-Dates of live classes: Wednesdays, November 5th to December 3rd, 2025<br />-Time: 2-5 pm Eastern Time<br />-Cost: 190 USD<br />-Get 15% off with the early bird sale through all of October with the code: EARLYPARADISO<br />-Register today: https://www.thesymbolicworld.com/courses/dantes-paradiso<br /><br />During October you can also get 50% off the Inferno and Purgatorio courses with the code: DANTE50-Inferno: https://www.thesymbolicworld.com/courses/dantes-inferno-the-course<br />-Purgatorio: https://www.thesymbolicworld.com/courses/dantes-purgatorio<br /><br />💻 Website and blog: http://www.thesymbolicworld.com<br />🔗 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/jonathanpageau <br />🔒 BECOME A PATRON: https://thesymbolicworld.com/subscribe <br />Our website designers: https://www.resonancehq.io/ <br />My intro was arranged and recorded by Matthew Wilkinson: https://matthewwilkinson.net/
