The Man Who Could Not Stop: William Wilberforce and the Faith That Changed the World
Episode Description
In 1784, a charming and ambitious young British politician climbed into a carriage with a Greek New Testament and emerged a different man. William Wilberforce did not set out to change the world --- but something found him on that road, reorganized him around a fixed point of conscience, and gave him the grounding to sustain eighteen years of defeat without breaking. This episode explores how genuine interior transformation becomes the engine of structural change, and why the world needs not just people who have identified what is wrong, but people who have done the interior work that real and lasting change actually requires.
