E201 TLB How to Engage a Hostile Culture
In this episode of the TLB podcast, host Justin Morris explores how Christians can learn to think and live biblically in an increasingly hostile and oppositional culture. The discussion is sparked by reactions to a controversial portrayal at the recent Olympic opening ceremonies. Drawing from New Testament teachings, Justin outlines key biblical principles on how to navigate persecution, honor authorities, and interact with the world through love and light. Central to the episode is the emphasis on submitting to God-ordained authorities, praying for leaders, and embracing trials as opportunities to reflect God's glory. Listeners are encouraged to embody grace and truth as Jesus did, offering a framework for engaging with the culture without hostility or anger.
