Never mind gender identity. The new trend is ‘reversion’ – a ‘return’ to the Islamic faith.
A growing movement of young women are espousing the Quran, wearing the hijab, and calling on other young women across the West to do the same.
Is it a social media storm in a teacup? Statistics suggest it’s definitely something to consider. The simple hashtag #revert has had 2.9 billion views, followed by #RevertMuslim (1.4 billion), and #MuslimRevert (525 million).
Such movements have happened before, particularly after 9-11. However, scratch the surface of this trending topic and Steve McAlpine shows you’ll discover not a surge in religious affiliation but a growing desire for order in a completely disordered world.
Where are we going as a society? And will you be happy when we get there? Steve McAlpine is here to help you answer those questions.
If a Delorean time machine pulled up in front of your house – Back To The Future style – and someone offered to show you what the future would be like, would you be content with what you found? And if not, what could you do to change it? Thinking this through is what Steve McAlpine calls Delorean Philosophy.
Steve McAlpine is a well-known social commentator, respected theologian and popular author. Each week, he takes a crucial trend or event that’s playing out in society now and asks, “Where is this taking us?”
Rather than just pontificating, Steve then provides practical steps listeners can take if they want to change the future. That’s Delorean Philosophy.
