Christians vs. Culture: Get Used to the Tension

Ever played Pac-Man? Remember how it felt when all of the ghosts had you backed into a corner and began to close in on you? For many Christians, today’s cultural moment feels similar to living in this nostalgic arcade game. The far-left, the far-right, and the far-too-upset-with-Christians-crowd descend upon you, and you’re left attempting to navigate the tense (and sometimes hostile) cultural maze as a faithful follower of Jesus. So, why is there so much tension between Christians and today’s culture? That’s what Keith and Patrick discuss this week. Has the world really changed that much in the last five, ten, or fifteen years? Demographic, language, and moral shifts, as well as Christianity’s prominence and reputation, definitely play a role in heightened tensions. But is today’s tension really all new? Should we attempt to find a place in this culture, or will the culture always be a new version of Babylon that we’re forced to navigate as exiles? Most importantly, how does God want us to respond to the tension we feel? Listen now! Ok, truth time... Did you like this episode?
