Tensions
Speaker: Sarah Anderson and Reggie Sumpter
Length: 2 Parts
It’s no secret that there can be tension between what our faith teaches us and what we see in culture. What do you do when faith and culture are at odds? It’s easy to distance ourselves from culture or to be overly critical. But Jesus modeled a better way.
Part 1: Either/Or
In this session, we’ll talk about some typical ways we react or respond when something in culture clashes with our faith.
Before the next session, complete the four-day reading plan designed to help you consider what was discussed in this session.
Part 2: Both/And
There’s a psychological reason we move away from people who have different worldviews and lifestyles than us. We’ll talk about what that reason is and what it looks like to move past it.
