Dr Koontz and Rev Fisk begin this third part of the series on civilization by examining the change from documenting personal influence to material influence on history. They talk about making generalizations of history, the cycles that civilizations follow, the effects of urbanization and industrialization on people groups, and the difference between material and spiritual flourishing. They end by prefacing their next show with a discussion of understanding the simple things first.

A Brief History of Power
Every week Dr. Adam Koontz and Rev. Jonathan Fisk check their privilege against the backdrop of the wide and varied annals of history. You don‘t have to believe the Babel about the sons of Noah being a rosetta for understanding the postmodern global politic to agree that an intellectual dark web exists because history always rhymes, no matter what you try to do about it. You might not save the world by listening, citizen, but that doesn‘t mean you won‘t save someone. Because knowing is only the first half of the battle.
