Before God Restores a Culture, He Reforms His Church

When culture begins to unravel, our instinct is almost always the same: fix politics, fix education, fix the economy, or fix the courts. But throughout Scripture, God tells a very different story. Before He restores a culture, He reforms His church. In this episode of Everyday Reformation, Nick Carter and Pastor Brandon Scroggins discuss why the book of Malachi is one of the most important—and most overlooked—books for the church today. They explore the post-exilic setting of Malachi, God's pattern of renewal throughout redemptive history, and why biblical reformation always begins with repentance, faithful preaching, reverent worship, strong families, and confidence in God's covenant love. Whether you're following along with our study through Malachi or simply wondering how Christians should respond to cultural decline, this conversation will encourage you to look where God always begins—with His people.
