What happened to wisdom? Dennis Prager examines how the Baby Boomer generation challenged the traditions, institutions, and inherited wisdom of previous generations—and how that rejection helped shape the world we live in today.

Dennis explores the ideas that emerged from the cultural revolution, from “Don’t trust anyone over 30” to the rejection of religion, traditional morality, and long-established ideas about human nature. What happens when each generation assumes it knows better than the generations that came before it?

Dennis argues that the problem isn’t a lack of intelligence, but a loss of wisdom—and asks whether we have entered an “age of stupidity” by forgetting what previous generations learned the hard way.

Dennis Prager answers questions on everything from God, suffering, and faith to feminism, relationships, and the changing culture. He discusses what it means to remain connected to God when life is painful, whether adopted children should seek out their birth parents, and how family, love, and values shape our lives.

And because this is an AMA, no question is too serious—or too silly. Dennis talks about political correctness, blindness and perception, Christianity and Catholicism, and even reveals his favorite vegetables and funniest movies. It’s a wide-ranging hour filled with serious questions, unexpected debates, and plenty of Dennis Prager’s trademark candor and humor.

Did God take away Pharaoh’s free will? Dennis Prager explores one of the most challenging passages in Exodus, where God says He will harden Pharaoh’s heart. Does this mean Pharaoh was no longer free to choose, or is there another way to understand the text?

Dennis also examines the mysterious encounter between God and Moses, the significance of circumcision in Jewish identity, and why God refers to Israel as His “firstborn.” Through these difficult passages, he considers the relationship between divine purpose, human freedom, and the meaning of faith.

Are you easily offended? Dennis Prager explores how taking things personally can rob us of happiness, damage relationships, and give other people control over our emotions. While genuine mistreatment should not be ignored, Dennis argues that we must learn to distinguish between real insults and perceived slights.

Through listener calls, personal examples, and insights from his book Happiness Is a Serious Problem, Dennis examines why some people are constantly offended and how we can develop the strength to respond differently. The key to greater happiness may be learning that, even when we cannot control what happens to us, we can often control how we react.

In this special edition of Timeless Wisdom, Dennis Prager speaks with physicist and author Dr. Gerald Schroeder about the relationship between science, faith, and the existence of God. Schroeder was one of the thinkers cited by renowned atheist philosopher Antony Flew as influencing his decision to believe in God.

In this extended conversation, Dennis and Dr. Schroeder explore the staggering complexity of life, the origins of the universe, evolution, consciousness, and whether the discoveries of modern science point toward an intelligent Creator. They also examine difficult questions about suffering, natural disasters, free will, and whether belief in a Creator can lead to belief in the God of the Bible.

Because of the depth and importance of the discussion, Dennis invites Dr. Schroeder to remain on the program beyond the usual hour, making this a rare and especially memorable two-hour conversation about some of life’s most fundamental questions.
