How Christians Resist Being Shaped by Culture

We are living in an age where pressure to conform is constant—politically, socially, and spiritually. Every day, believers are being shaped by voices, values, assumptions, and narratives. The question is not whether culture influences us, but how—and whether we recognize it. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins answers: How do Christians resist being shaped by culture while still living faithfully in the world God has placed them in? Anchored in Romans 12:1–2 and Colossians 3:1–4, this episode explores: • What it means to not be conformed to this world • Why culture is never neutral • How the renewal of the mind happens • Why resistance must be faithful, not reactive • How devotion to Christ fuels discernment This is not a call to retreat from the world. It is a call to renewal through the Word of God. Christians resist cultural conformity not by fear, anger, or isolation—but by minds renewed through Scripture, hearts fixed on Christ, and lives lived under His lordship. Stand firm. Think biblically. Live faithfully. 🔗 For more from Contending for the Word Q&A: https://servantsofgrace.org/contending-for-the-word-qa/
