Cultural Hostility Towards Christians

The podcast discusses the increasing hostility Christians face in contemporary culture, highlighting a shift in societal attitudes. As Christians see their values deemed toxic and oppressive, many have experienced personal consequences, including job losses and family disputes. This pervasive rejection stems from a societal view that condemns biblical belief systems, labeling them harmful rather than merely incorrect. Understanding this cultural animosity is crucial for Christians seeking to navigate their faith in a growingly unfriendly public square.
