Finding God's Voice in the Plurality of Culture

March 2, 2023Finding God’s Voice in the Plurality of CultureSeason 1, Episode 3It is easy to throw in the towel about today’s culture, and it might even sometimes feel righteous to want to get our students away from that culture. But the truth is: this culture is ours now, too! Instead of trying to erase today’s culture, let’s spend some time embracing it, allowing it to guide us to the best strategies to help our students discover the story God has been writing for all of time, the Truth in a sea of truths, and a legitimacy to our heritage as a people. In this conversation, we sat down with our Young Adults Pastor Gil and started scratching the surface of why our culture exists today, the historical significance of the shift to postmodern culture, and ways we can show students the way of Jesus in a plurality of truths.MARKERS5:00 - Postmodernism Introduction7:00 - Culture in the last 100 years13:00 - What does that mean for our students today?16:00 - Christianity vs Culture21:00 - Leading students in a postmodern culture32:00 - Fostering a healthy faith in your fewRESOURCES MENTIONEDChristianity Surprise - renewing a sense of Christian hope todayMedia Theory of Postmodernism - gives a good overview of postmodernism from a media perspective.If you want to dive deeper, here are some philosophers you could take a dive into:Jean-François LyotardJean BaudrillardGilles DeleuzeJacques DerridaLooking for more?
