Episode notes
Self-Defined God
- Americans claim to believe in God, but often define God according to their own ideas.
- This self-defined God becomes a reflection of their own desires and values, not the biblical God.
Unavoidable Cultural Issues
- Christians must engage with cultural issues because they are unavoidable.
- Issues like gender identity and sexuality are being brought to our doorstep, demanding a response.
Affluence and Distraction
- Affluence makes it harder to develop worshiping Christians and recognize the world as an enemy.
- The constant distractions of technology, like cell phones, shape our worldview without us even realizing it.
