The Gospel After Christendom: An Introduction to Cultural Apologetics w/ Collin Hansen

What happens when the church no longer sits at the center of culture? How do we make sense of a world where millions are leaving the pews, yet traces of Christianity still shape the very stories people tell about meaning, beauty, and truth? Beneath the surface of shifting cultural narratives lies a deeper question: how can we reawaken the memory of Christianity in hearts that no longer know its hope? This is where cultural apologetics steps in.

Our guest today is Collin Hansen. Collin serves as vice president for content and editor-in-chief of The Gospel Coalition. He hosts the Gospelbound podcast and has written and contributed to many books, including Timothy Keller: His Spiritual & Intellectual Formation and Rediscover Church: Why the Body of Christ Is Essential. He is a member of Iron City Church in Birmingham, Alabama, and he is an adjunct professor at Beeson Divinity School, where he also co-chairs the advisory board.
