Malcolm Gladwell Admits He Lied: the Cost of Truth in a Hostile Culture

Episode Description

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron return to the subject of Malcolm Gladwell—this time exploring his recent admission that he spoke dishonestly in a 2022 panel discussion on trans athletes in women’s sports. Drawing connections between Gladwell’s statements, Douglas Murray’s fierce critique, and the broader cultural shift on gender ideology, Nathan and Cameron offer thoughtful, biblically rooted commentary on intellectual courage, cowardice, and the pressure to conform in elite spaces. With a focus on truth, integrity, and the role of the church in discerning the signs of the times, this conversation unpacks the internal contradictions of progressive movements, the resurgence of populist common sense, and what Christians can learn from this moment. Ideal for believers hungry for rich theological engagement with today’s most controversial issues.
