Binmin Podcast Ep. 7b: "What is Cultural Engagement?” Part 2 of 2

This podcast is the second in a two-part series on Christians navigating the seven cultural streams of family, church, workplace, community, politics, and the arts. In an ever-increasingly polarized and anti-Christian society, how can we best reflect Christ? Every genuine Christian needs to be seeking to live a Christ-like life. But how do we do that in the various areas of our lives? How do we raise healthy families? What is our role in the church? How can we honor Jesus in the spheres of work, community, public arena, politics, and education? What friends should you have? What kind of arts and entertainment are appropriate for our families and us? 0:00 - Binmin intro 0:13 - Welcome and introduction 1:00 - What is cultural engagement as it relates to the seven streams of cultural influence? 1:54 - Christianity’s impact on family relationships 5:17 - What is the role of the church in the life of a believer?
