MYRNA BBROWN, HOST: Good morning!

A new Barna survey shows Gen Z says it values marriage, but it’s shaky on what marriage is for.

We’ll talk about what that confusion reveals.

NICK EICHER, HOST: John Stonestreet’s back for Culture Friday.

Also, today the new film, Wicked: For Good.

MORRIBLE: The Wicked Witch can’t elude us forever. Not with Prince Fiyero and his squadron hot on her trail.

WORLD’s Collin Garbarino has a review … and Listener Feedback.

BROWN: It’s Friday, November 21st. This is The World and Everything in It from listener-supported WORLD Radio. I’m Myrna Brown.

EICHER: And I’m Nick Eicher. Good morning!

BROWN: Up next, Kent Covington with today’s news.

KENT COVINGTON, NEWS ANCHOR: U.S.-Russia plan to end Ukraine war » The U.S. Secretary of the Army was on the ground in Ukraine Thursday.

SOUND: [Greeting]

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met in Kyiv with Daniel Driscoll, who is helping with peace talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine.

Driscoll praised the tenacity of Ukrainians in their fight against Russian invaders.

DRISCOLL: The tragedy of having to defend your right to exist and losing your neighbors and your friends and your colleagues, it's horrific, and it's just something that no nation should face.

Meanwhile, President Trump works with the Kremlin to draft a 28-point peace plan to end the war.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt:

LEAVITT: The president supports this plan. It's a good plan for both Russia and Ukraine and we believe that it should be acceptable to both sides and we're working hard to get it done.

But the Trump administration has said little so far about what that plan will look like.

SOUND: [Cheney choir]

Dick Cheney funeral » Washington National Cathedral hosting a remembrance for Dick Cheney.

Republican George W. Bush eulogized the man who served him as vice president, calling Cheney "smart and polished, without airs.”

BUSH:  Dick was funny and easygoing in a style that his public image never caught up with. Though we can all agree, wasn't your standard issue politician. If any voters came hoping for a kind word and a hug, they'd have to settle for the kind word.

Former President Joe Biden also attended.

President Trump was not invited after years of very public friction with the Cheney family. The president has remained silent on Cheney’s passing.

Cheney had lived with heart disease for decades, and received a heart transplant in 2012.

He died November 3rd at age 84 from complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease.

Investigators say UPS plane had cracks in engine mount » New information on that deadly crash of a UPS cargo plane in Kentucky two weeks ago. WORLD’s Benjamin Eicher has that story.

BENJAMIN EICHER: Investigators now say there was evidence of cracks in the left wing’s engine mount.

The National Transportation Safety Board says the MD-11 plane only got 30 feet off the ground.

It's the first formal—but still preliminary—report about the Nov. 4 disaster in Louisville.

The NTSB said the plane was not yet due for a detailed inspection of key engine mount parts.

Investigator Jeff Guzzetti said, “It appears UPS was conducting this maintenance within the required time frame, but I’m sure the FAA is now going to ponder whether that time frame is adequate.”

Fourteen people were killed in the crash.

Three pilots were aboard the plane — all other victims were on the ground.

For WORLD, I’m Benjamin Eicher.

Jobs report » The Labor Department has finally released a key economic report after weeks of delay from the government shutdown — and the numbers are strong. Employers added 119,000 jobs in September, more than twice what economists expected.

Even so, the unemployment rate inched up from 4.3% to 4.4%, in part because nearly half a million Americans entered the labor force.

The shutdown also kept the government from calculating October’s unemployment rate, so there won’t be a full October report. Instead, those figures — including October job gains — will be rolled into November’s report next month.

Hearing on Nigeria violence » At the Capitol members of a House panel took a hard look at violence against Christians in Nigeria Thursday. GOP Congressman Chris Smith:

SMITH: Churches burn. Mothers bury their children for the crime of singing Amazing Grace. Pastors are beheaded for preaching The Sermon on the Mount.

Smith chairs the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa.

 A Catholic bishop from Nigeria testified that radical Islamist groups like Boko Haram are targeting Christians, but that the Nigerian government does little to nothing about it.

The top Democrat on the panel, Sarah Jacobs suggested that cuts to the USAID program may have added to the crisis. She pressed State Department official Jacob McGee about cuts.

MCGEE: Ultimately, the violence must be stopped by the Nigerian government.

JACOBS: Okay. Will you, in terms of programming, will you recommend restarting this program to the secretary?

He said existing warning programs that the US funds should be sufficient, reiterating that it’s on the Nigerian government to curb the violence.

President Trump has threatened to cut aid and even suggested possible US military action if Nigeria does not step up counterterrorism efforts.

Mamdani to visit White House today » The Democratic socialist mayor-elect of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, is slated to meet with President Trump at the White House today, where Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters:

LEAVITT:  We have a communist coming to the White House because that's who the Democrat Party elected as the mayor of the largest city in the country. I think it's very telling.

But she said, it speaks to the fact that the president is willing to meet with anyone to try and do what’s right for the American people.

Likewise, Mamdani says the meeting shows that he’s willing to meet with anyone on behalf of his city.

MAMDANI:  I intend to make it clear to President Trump that I will work with him on any agenda that benefits New Yorkers. If an agenda hurts New Yorkers, I will also be the first to say so.

Mamdani says his team requested the meeting, and that he plans to center the meeting on how the two opposing leaders could work to make the city a more affordable place to live.

I'm Kent Covington.

Straight ahead: Culture Friday with John Stonestreet, a review of Wicked: For Good, and your listener feedback.

This is The World and Everything in It.

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: It’s Friday, November 21st. Glad to have you along for today’s edition of The World and Everything in It. Good morning, I’m Myrna Brown.

NICK EICHER, HOST: And I’m Nick Eicher. It’s Culture Friday! Joining us is John Stonestreet, president of the Colson Center and host of the Breakpoint podcast. Good morning John!

JOHN STONESTREET: Good morning.

EICHER: New data from Barna (State of Today’s Family) reveals a striking contradiction inside Gen Z. On the one hand, a strong majority of young adults say they value marriage. But they’re also the generation least likely to believe marriage is important for raising children. In other words: Gen Z affirms marriage, but seems unsure what marriage is for.

It’s a curious kind of confidence—believing in an institution without a clear sense of its purpose. And it raises a bigger question for all of us: if you detach marriage from its mission, what exactly are you valuing? How do you make sense of this, John?

STONESTREET: Well, listen, we have been in an era where we have tried all kinds of things with marriage. We’ve replaced marriage with other relationships. We have substituted it out for cohabitation. We “expanded” it. I mean, there’s all kinds of things that we’ve done to marriage without actually asking first and foremost, what is marriage for?

Now, that actually is not just an indictment on what’s happened in the Western world. The church has spent an awful lot of time talking to its people about how to do marriage. And in a sense, it’s been Gnostic. It’s been Gnostic from the very beginning, because it’s treated marriage as if it were merely an institute of personal fulfillment, and that it didn’t actually have a created structure to it.

And there’s just so much evidence of the fact that we have tried all kinds of things with marriage, but have lost the plot. We’ve lost what marriage is. We’ve lost what marriage is for. And this study, I think, just points to that, and it even points to it in the church. In the past, it was seen as something not as a capstone, but as a cornerstone of building an adult life. You do it with someone else, and you do it with some of these thresholds into adulthood, such as moving out, living on your own, getting married, having babies.

These aren’t things you do to complete your personal fulfillment. These are things you do because it’s what humans do. There was an inherent sense of purpose here, and I just think that there’s so little of that here.

And I mean, when Jesus was asked in Matthew 19 about whether something should be done to marriage, he went right back to the creation narrative. Talked about men and women being one flesh, bringing in the things that we should learn about marriage from the human body. And if we do not recover what marriage is for, then we will not be able to fix it—certainly fix it to what it should be. Which, first and foremost, should be an institution that advances the creation mandate to be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it, and is the best place for raising kids.

You know, even the way some of these questions were framed betray this understanding that what marriage is really about is adult happiness and we need to fix it so that we can fix adult happiness. None of that’s the point—or it’s not not the point. It’s the secondary point. There’s a primary purpose for marriage given to how God created us, and keeping the primary and the secondary purpose is something that’s missing in the way we think about marriage. This study both reflects that and it reveals that.

EICHER: You know, John, your point about losing the plot on marriage makes me think of something I heard recently. Allie Beth Stuckey was interviewing Frank Turek, and Frank mentioned a conversation he’d had with Charlie Kirk just a day or so before Charlie was assassinated. Kirk told him that rebuilding a healthy marriage culture was absolutely central to what he was trying to achieve culturally—to preserving the West.

So let me connect that to this Barna data. If Gen Z says it values marriage, not even for the right reasons, isn’t that still a meaningful opening? In other words, is there a sense in which the instinct to value the institution—even without the framework might be a kind of bounce-back we need? Get married and get your on-the-job training.

STONESTREET: Oh, I think it’s good news to like marriage rather than not like marriage, like it’s better to be in a place where people actually value it. I mean, just a few years ago, another study pointed to the fact that the majority of young people at the time—which I guess at that time we would have been talking about older millennials—basically thought marriage was an irrelevant institution.

And you know, it’s one thing to think it’s good, it’s another thing to think it’s bad, like the feminist. That’s another thing to think it just doesn’t matter at all. And I think there has been a bounce back from that, and part of that is just the challenges of reality.

But there has to be clarity on this, right? I mean, when you live in cultural waters that treats everything having to do with adult relationships and adult sexuality as primarily a purpose of happiness and self-fulfillment, then you’ve got to do some recatechism from the top down. You’ve got to talk about it differently.

And there’s other trends too that this study in particular didn’t reflect. But we know from other places, for example, that if you actually dig deep on young men and young women, more young men now want to get married than young women do. This is just another way of reflecting the trend lines, which seem to indicate that young men and young women are moving in the opposite direction about fundamental values, about what they really believe.

So the fact that there is some sort of return, kind of a bounce back from the myths, that’s good news, but we have to clarify what it is. I mean, part of it, it’s like, man, if young adults right now actually value marriage for anything other than kind of personal fulfillment, then God bless them. That’s God’s grace. Because we can’t take any credit for what we’ve done in building the cultural norms, and churches should be at the lead of this.

And I think if you look at some of the things that Charlie Kirk said, particularly in the last couple years of his life, and his mission—as his widow put it in her memorial tribute—to save the lost boys of the West. There’s not a saving of the lost boys of the West outside of rebuilding the institution of marriage. If you have a broken-down marriage culture, you have broken-down young people, and eventually the need outgrows the ability to meet the need. It’s just impossible to keep up with the brokenness.

And you know, we’ve certainly seen that breaking point achieved in many communities, and there’s not a way forward in terms of saving the West or saving the young people of the West unless we get back to what marriage is and what it’s for.

BROWN: In Germany, the Christmas season is colliding with a new reality, John: several towns have cancelled their traditional Christmas markets. These are events that typically draw millions of people.

This is not about lack of interest or bad weather. Nothing like that. It’s about these small towns’ inability to afford the security measures now required.

I learned about this in an article in The European Conservative. Evidently localities are looking over their shoulders because of last year’s likely terror attack in a small city in the center of Germany, on the Elbe River. The memory is still fresh of a car-ramming at a Christmas market that killed five people and injured more than 200.

Local organizers say the cost of barriers, surveillance, and extra guards now outweighs what small towns can pay.

Here’s the question: Christmas markets are not church events; they’re civic events rooted in Christian tradition. What happens when public expressions of Christianity in Europe require extraordinary security just to continue?

STONESTREET: Well, they die out. And I think that’s what happens. Most civilizations do die out. I mean, that’s the history of the world. Civilizations don’t last forever. The West has largely been a Christian civilization. And it will have Christian cultural markers, Christmas being probably the most visible and important one historically, in many ways.

And the fact that this choice is being made is another aspect of this. In other words, the choice is that it is not important enough to maintain these traditions, to maintain these markers, to make the kind of hard decisions that need to be made. For example, I don’t know on immigration policy, in order to maintain the kind of civilization you are, and to even bring this sort of thing up then gets one accused of racism, nationalism, and things like that.

But okay, maybe it does. It’s still the observable math. It’s either you get Islam on Islamic terms, or you have some expectations culturally of those who want to join your country. And you have expectations of citizens, and you have expectations of those who want to become citizens from another place. And that has to be demonstrated. And that, of course, was known up until yesterday as common sense, and now it’s called something else. And so that’s just kind of the place that we’re in.

I do think also this is another example of something we realized—that we were indeed in the midst of a clash of civilizations. Samuel Huntington’s classic thesis post–Cold War about how the world was going to be made up and where the conflicts were going to be. And boy, that guy really got a lot right, and we forgot a little bit about the prediction about Islam and Islam in the West, because maybe we got distracted by this or that or the other. But the cultural fault lines remain between Islam and the Christian or post-Christian West.

And this was a victory. This is a victory for Islam. You know, it’s what fear can do. And then the legislatures of these nations make their decisions. And so there you go.

I do think there is more than a little bit of a groundswell among the citizens—pushback in many European nations. We’ll see what happens in a place like this. How much will people miss these traditions that are such an important part of their lives? And maybe we’ll see a return to some of those traditions, like we’ve seen a return—people going to church, for example, in England and in the United States.

So, you know, it’s hard to know what the future will hold. There’s a lot going on beneath the surface here.

BROWN: John Stonestreet is president of the Colson Center and Host of the Breakpoint podcast. Thank you John.

STONESTREET: Thank you both.

NICK EICHER, HOST: Today is Friday, November 21st. Thank you for turning to WORLD Radio to help start your day.

Good morning. I’m Nick Eicher.

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: And I’m Myrna Brown.

Coming next on The World and Everything in It: a final stop in the land of Oz. The film Wicked: For Good opens this weekend, taking the story to its big finish.

But every journey changes as you go. WORLD arts and culture editor Collin Garbarino says this one takes a different turn than you might expect.

COLLIN GARBARINO: Cinematic musicals have fallen on hard times in America, but last year’s Wicked defied the odds by offering audiences a joyful romp, full of over-the-top dance numbers set against lavish backdrops. Now, after a 12-month intermission, it’s time for Act Two. But fans who aren’t familiar with the original Broadway show might feel a little let down as the story takes a darker turn.

ELPHABA: There’s no going back.

Wicked: For Good picks up the action at some undefined time after the first movie. Elphaba, once again played by Cynthia Erivo, has become the Wicked Witch. She lives alone, but she makes excursions into the world to continue her struggle against the Wizard of Oz and his oppressive regime.

Her friend Glinda, however, is living in the Emerald City, being groomed for leadership by the Wizard and the magical Madame Morrible. Ariana Grande plays Glinda, and Jeff Goldblum is Oz and Michelle Yeoh is Morrible. The question of whether Glinda and Elpahba’s friendship is strong enough to survive being on opposite sides is the heart of the story.

GLINDA: Elphaba Thropp, I know you’re out here. Come in before the monkeys spot you.

When a certain girl from Kansas shows up with her little dog in tow, an already difficult situation gets worse.

OZ: Bring me the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West.

Those who loved last year’s Wicked will probably want to see Wicked: For Good. It succeeds in wrapping up the first film in a satisfying manner. And those who aren’t yet familiar with the musical’s story will be interested in seeing how the story incorporates the events of The Wizard of Oz movie from 1939. But to be honest, Wicked: For Good is a bit of a let down.

ELPHABA: You’re the only friend I ever had.

GLINDA: And I have so many friends.

Last year’s Wicked felt like such a triumph because it was fun. Sure, there was a bit of a subtext about tyranny and the suppression of truth, but the film didn’t take itself too seriously. How could it when everything revolved around Glinda’s skill at tossing her hair?

Most of the first film is set during the protagonists’ carefree university days, which adds to the amusement with big dance numbers full of fellow students and a lot of witty banter from the ensemble cast. But in this movie, Elphaba and Glinda have left university life behind. The wide world proves to be a lot lonelier and a lot less fun.

MADAME MORRIBLE: The Wicked Witch can’t elude us forever. Not with Prince Fiyero and his squadron hot on her trail.

It’s not that director Jon M. Chu has made a bad followup, it’s just that this movie isn’t as good as the first one. It’s not entirely his fault. The Broadway musical’s best songs come during Act One. There’s nothing as catchy as “Popular” or as stirring as “Defying Gravity.” So this sequel is left with a selection of numbers that range from serviceable to forgettable.

We can’t blame Chu for the music, but we can blame him for the pacing. It’s 22 minutes shorter than Wicked, but it feels longer. Many of the scenes drag out the emotional beats. I suppose we’re meant to feel the characters’ turmoil, but instead the deadwood merely gives the audience more time to remember that things aren't as enjoyable as last time.

GLINDA: Think of what we can do… together.

Wicked: For Good is rated PG for action and some suggestive material. And the suggestive material is much more suggestive this go round. Parents might want to think twice about bringing young children. During one of the musical numbers, two characters strip off layers of clothing. And in the Land of Oz folks wear elaborate costumes so they have many layers to strip off. Then they fall into bed together. I’m not sure I would call it “objectionable,” but it’s, well, very suggestive. Much more suggestive than I would expect from a PG movie in 2025.

ELPHABA: For a while there, I thought you had changed.

FIYERO: I have changed.

How should we assess the morality of Wicked’s story? On the one hand, you could cheer for its condemnation of totalitarianism. And you kind of get this sense that everyone’s complicated, with some mixture of goodness and wickedness. Maybe that sounds like a Biblical understanding of fallen humanity.

On the other hand, in its condemnation of tyranny’s monopoly on truth, the movie flirts with the idea that there’s no such thing as truth, per se. There’s just my story and your story and his story and her story. It starts to feel like post-modern moral relativism. In this story, the villains turn into heroes, and the heroes turn into villains. And sometimes those villains-turned-heroes turn back to villains and vice versa. No one’s good. No one’s wicked. We’re all just doing stuff. Trying to survive.

Anyway, if you were planning to see Wicked: For Good in theaters, there’s probably not much I can say that will dissuade you.

ELPHABA: I’m off to see the Wizard.

Just go into it expecting that you might find this visit to the Emerald City disappointing.

I’m Collin Garbarino.

NICK EICHER, HOST: Today is Friday, November 21st. Good morning! This is The World and Everything in It from listener-supported WORLD Radio. I’m Nick Eicher.

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: And I’m Myrna Brown.

Time now for Listener Feedback for the month of November. We begin with longtime listener Laura Laster. She’s a pilot and aviation professor at LeTourneau University, and she had a response to our recent conversation with transportation expert Bob Poole about air-traffic-control funding.

LAURA LASTER: I just want to offer another perspective from a flight school point of view: privatizing ATC would make learning to fly even more expensive. It would raise costs for all pilots in the United States, where we currently enjoy an amazing level of freedom that you don’t see in other countries because we don’t have privatized ATC like in Canada, Europe, and much of the rest of the world. The recent problems weren’t caused by any specific air traffic control failure but by the government’s inability to stay open during funding issues. That could be solved by something like the Aviation Funding Stability Act, which would allow the FAA to continue operating during government shutdowns if passed—something I would encourage.

EICHER: Next, a comment from listener Meagan Blanchard. She was responding to Seth Troutt’s recent commentary on how Christians ought to think about interacting with artificial intelligence.

MEAGAN BLANCHARD: Hi WORLD. Thank you so much for the quality work you do through journalism and editorials that you send to us each day. I thank you for inspiring and educating us. I'm always warning my children, you're not allowed to have a relationship with anything that does not have a heartbeat, but practically sometimes that can be hard to know what leads up to that. And I think Seth had such great ideas identifying ways that we can just humanize AI and let it creep in slowly. And before we know it, we do have that relationship with something without a heartbeat, i.e. a bot or anything like that. So thank you so much for this excellent piece and continue to do great work.

Next, listener Jeb Rice picked up on this week’s Washington Wednesday about border policy and offered a reminder that God’s work is not confined to the borders of the United States.

JEB RICE: If, as a Christian, I thought God was only active in the United States and we should let everybody come here. But having been to other countries, knowing that God is extremely active all over the world, and we can fulfill our commands from God anywhere in the world. They do not have to be in the U.S. So I think people who think that the only answer is to let them in, have a very narrow view of the action of what our God is, who our God is, and what our God can do. Thank you very much. I appreciate what you guys do.

BROWN: This month, we’ve also heard from several listeners grateful for WORLD’s commitment to send reporters into the field.

SALLY DRISCOLL: Yes this is Sally Driscoll from the west side of Michigan And I think of calling often after different pieces especially Kim Henderson's pieces. But I just wanted to comment. I just was listening and Caleb Welde’s piece on Ukraine was haunting and moving and very thoughtful and I just appreciate the work he did and that you're sending people around the world.

Listener Mary Norton thought so, too, not only the Ukraine piece but other international reporting.

MARY NORTON: Thank you for having boots on the ground. I just listened to Caleb Welde's report of life in Ukraine. That encourages me to keep praying for the people of Ukraine, the people of Nigeria, and Sudan. Thanks, Onize, for your reporting there. And for Israel and Gaza. Keep up the good work. I really appreciate your reporting.

EICHER: Finally today, we received a wave of appreciative mail this month about one episode in particular—Travis Kircher’s long-form conversation with a CCM pioneer:

MATT BROWN: Hey Matt Brown Tucson Arizona the segment on Twila Paris was just amazing and I did not know the context of bringing and that was so incredibly well done.

LORRAINE FRITCH: Hi, I'm Lorraine from Menifee, California. Twila's songs are rich in theology and yet so singable. Thank you for highlighting this wonderful singer-songwriter.

CHRISTIAN ELLIOTT: As an aging child of the 70s Jesus Revolution, I very much enjoyed listening to Travis Kircher's interview with Twila Paris, hearing both the short segment and the full weekend edition. Twila's music has been inspiring and encouraging to me through many years of ministry…

Many listeners have been so encouraging about our long-form interview series that we’ve been running this fall. We’ve got a few more lined up that we think you’ll enjoy. Tomorrow, a thoughtful conversation between WORLD’s Les Sillars and novelist and poet Paul Kingsnorth on his new book: Against the Machine: On the Unmaking of Humanity.

KINGSNORTH: We have been trying to build a world in which we are in control, often for understandable reasons, in which we can manage and control every aspect of life. And we've got to the point now where our technologies are so advanced that we're able to, or we hope or think, that we're able to do things like creating super intelligences, creating artificial minds, potentially not just extending our lives, but ending death, at least this is the dream. So the story that it tells is really the attempt to replace nature with technology. Another way of looking at that, is that it's the same story that played out in the first book of Genesis, where we decide that we're going to eat the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil and become as gods. We're trying to be gods. And we've got to the point now where many of the people creating these technologies openly speak in those terms.

Join us tomorrow for the half-hour conversation with Paul Kingsnorth…anywhere you get our podcast.

BROWN: That’s this month’s listener feedback. Thanks to everyone who called in. If you’d like to comment on a recent segment, send us an email or a recorded message to: editor@wng.org. You can also phone it in: 202-709-9595.
