In the 21st century, the church faces some odd headwinds. Technological advancement is accelerating, congregations are fracturing, and things like astrology and New Age spirituality are becoming more mainstream. It’s more important than ever to thoughtfully engage with cultural trends outside of the church and theological disagreements within the church. “Know What You Believe with Michael Horton”... more
