In this video, I unpack why only 1 in 10 Christians actually hold a biblical worldview — and what we must do to change that.

From worship trends that look more like concerts than Christ-centered gatherings to sermons quoting Kendrick Lamar and Avengers-themed Easter services… it’s clear the culture is shaping the church more than the Word of God, and this MUST change.

The change starts with us renewing our minds and thinking biblically. In this video, I talk about resisting cultural lies and thinking like a Christian by forming a solid, gospel-centered worldview rooted in Scripture. Plus I provide practical tools, a a resource list, and a challenge to take your discipleship seriously.

I recently attended Jordan Peterson’s ARC Conference, where key thinkers like Os Guinness, Baroness Philippa Stroud, Douglas Murray, Jordan Peterson, and more discussed the challenges of our cultural moment. In this video, I reflect on what Christians can learn from this conference for cultural engagement, public faith, and how the Gospel speaks to today's societal issues.

How should Christians respond to cultural shifts?
What role does Christianity play in shaping the future?
How can we engage without compromising biblical truth?

I’ll break down major themes from ARC, including:

Os Guinness on freedom & faith
The need for us to have more children
Jordan Peterson’s vision for cultural renewal
The importance of truth, responsibility, and biblical wisdom as we tell the Better Story

If you're interested in Christian cultural engagement, apologetics, and the intersection of faith & society, this video is for you!

Let’s discuss in the comments: How should Christians engage with today’s culture?
