This week: How to Lose a Culture War
In 1991 James Davison Hunter wrote a book and titled it with a phrase for what he saw playing out in America’s fights over abortion, gay rights, and religion in public schools: “Culture Wars.” In 2014, CNN published an article by Rachel Held Evans entitled “How Evangelicals Won a War and Lost a Generation.” What does thinking Jesusly help us discern about the way Christians have engaged with American culture over the last 100 years? And how should Christians engage going forward?

Series overview:
Are you interested in learning more about the kind of life Jesus invited us into? Do the teachings of Jesus feel like they get drowned out or confused by all the groups, influencers, politicians, and churches that claim him as their spokesperson? Join us for an immensely practical series exploring the way of Jesus. We’ll discover it’s both counter to the secular culture we live in, and counter to the religious culture many of us are familiar with.
