As Christian leaders engage today’s culture, we need to understand the changing world around us. Engaging these changes in ways that edify the church and winsomely seek after the lost requires cultural intelligence. In this episode, hosts Ed and Daniel are joined by Dr. Darrell Bock to discuss:

  • The current state of the culture wars
  • How Christians can effectively engage our culture
  • How to engage difficult conversations
  • Preaching and teaching in a culturally relevant way
