Episode notes
Reject The Singular 'The Culture'
- Saying "the culture" treats the prevailing secular society as if it's the only culture.
- Stephen Mansfield argues that this absolutes and concedes ground to that society.
Culture Is What You Cultivate
- Culture is what people encourage to grow: values, habits, and moral codes.
- Mansfield emphasizes churches, families, and groups each form distinct cultures with real influence.
Guard The Church's Culture
- Pastors should act as chief guardians of a Christian culture inside their churches.
- Build local practices and values that can then influence broader society.
