Non-Woke Christmas

Over the past couple of years, many organizations and companies have been described as becoming “woke,” which usually means they have greatly restricted or abolished freedom for those with a truly Christian worldview. And in recent times, we’ve seen considerable backlash against various companies because of their woke positions (which often result in pushing a transgender ideology, etc.). But really, the woke agenda is driven by a secular/anti-Christian worldview based on man’s word rather than God’s Word!

As I often remind people, believing in a literal Genesis 1–11 is the key to being “woke-proof,” as Genesis 1–11 is the foundation for marriage, gender, and, in fact, everything! I tell people that Answers in Genesis is a “non-woke” organization and our Ark Encounter and Creation Museum are “non-woke” attractions.

As the culture becomes more secular, woke, and permeated by moral relativism, Answers in Genesis and our two attractions exist like a beautiful oasis in a desert environment increasingly devoid of biblical truth.

While many places have removed Christ from Christmas, at the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum, we exalt Christ and boldly proclaim the truth of God’s Word and the saving gospel.

Can I urge you to consider bringing your family to our God-honoring, family-friendly, non-woke ChristmasTown at the Creation Museum and ChristmasTime at the Ark? Both begin the day after Thanksgiving, and you can find details on the attraction websites about what to expect—such as spectacular lights, dramas (including a live nativity), concerts, a laser light show, and much more. And the main events are free except for parking!

Each year, we continue to enhance and expand our Christmas events. This year, we are so excited that the Creation Museum’s new unique conservatory complex exhibiting the plants of the Bible will be open to the public. We do not know of any other conservatory with such an exhibit. This is the biggest conservatory in Kentucky, and it consists of four glass greenhouses—all climate-controlled using sophisticated cutting-edge technology. The greenhouses will exhibit plants in four different climates—tropical, subtropical, Mediterranean, and arid. Guests will be able to go on a self-guided tour, culminating in a garden with a plant species that could have been used for the crown of thorns placed on Jesus’ head. Associated with this, the gospel will be presented.

In addition to the conservatory, our new zoo—with its beautiful outdoor covered stage and animal exhibits featuring a king vulture, giant anteater, giant African tortoises, Australian wallabies, farmyard animals, and more—will also be open.

Make Northern Kentucky a destination for your family to celebrate this Christmas at our attractions. Of course, the Ark and Creation Museum will be open during regular hours, with their Christmas events starting at 5:00 p.m. on select days.
