Christ or Collapse

Christ or Collapse

Join us at Fairview Baptist Church from November 20–21 for a special conference with guest speaker Professor Dr. David Haskell, who served for two decades and studied the social science of Christianity as a professor at Wilfrid Laurier University.

Dr. David Haskell’s Bio

David Millard Haskell has for two decades studied the social science of Christianity as a professor at Wilfrid Laurier University. Before earning his PhD and entering academia, he was a professional journalist. He is one of Canada’s most outspoken academics for conservative Christian values. Jordan Peterson listed him among the top five professors fighting “wokeness.” His studies showing that conservative theology drives church success received national and international media attention. His 2024 research report debunking DEI was featured in newspapers across Canada, cited in Forbes Magazine, and used by U.S. legislators and Canadian federal politicians to argue for policy change.

His latest work is the book Christ or Collapse: The Case Against Godless Government.

What to Expect

Everyone is welcome to hear Dr. Haskell teach on the most current research evidence to show that unless the norms and values of the Christian faith once again shape public life in the United States and Canada, civilizational decline is inevitable.

While its topics will resonate deeply with devout Christians, the event also appeals to open-minded non-believers. The discussions over the two days will be framed as restoring and advancing Traditional Conservatism the political philosophy that largely shaped the West until the 1960s.

Beyond the teaching, this will be an opportunity to connect with others, enjoy fellowship, and ask questions. Don’t miss out to learn about politics through a Christian lens.

Inspiring Keynote Sessions: Gain insights about political matters from a Christian perspective which will provide practical tools and strategies for an effective view on politics that glorifies God.
