Turn the World Upside Down: Engaging Culture with Kindness and Conviction

It was said of Paul and those with him that they had "turned the world upside down" because they were not afraid to speak publicly about their faith and proclaim Jesus as the Messiah. In this second installment of our series about the goals of Encountering Truth, we discuss the obligation that Christians have to engage culture with kindness and conviction. With Paul as our model, we talk about the importance of boldly speaking the truth in love, the potential consequences of it, and whether that includes "political" issues.
