Episode #1082 - David Millard Haskell

From Liberal Christian to Evidence-Based Believer

I’m joined by Wilfrid Laurier University professor and social scientist Dr. David Millard Haskell to discuss his new book Christ or Collapse. Haskell shares how rigorous, data-driven research led him from a liberal Christian background—where he once debated in favour of same-sex marriage—to embracing traditional Christian theology as the unmatched foundation for personal flourishing, strong families, church growth, and national success. The discussion covers his landmark studies showing that traditional congregations grow while progressive ones decline, that DEI initiatives are “junk science” that actually harms organizations, and that Christian norms deliver the highest rates of marital stability, child pro-social behavior, charitable giving, and civic trust. We also discuss Canada’s accelerating cultural and legal shifts—including Bill C-9, MAiD expansion, and Charter limitations on Christian speech—while exploring why people are increasingly turning back to Christianity amid progressive overreach.
