Resources to guide, equip, and develop.
Though our Christ and Culture series has concluded we want to keep this resource page up for you. We are not endorsing all the positions of these authors as the correct way to view culture. Many of these resources even have opposing, nuanced views. We have selected works from authors, journalist, theologians, pastors, and academics that we value and learn from. The burden to think and pray through these issues falls on each of us as individuals. We pray you grow closer to Christ and feel better equipped to live out the Christian life through reading and study.
