Redeem All This Extra Time: A Crash-Course in Culture and Worldview

In just a few weeks' time, we find ourselves in a whole new world. Many of us are working from home. Churches are closed. Like everyone else, all of my scheduled speaking events are canceled. College students are back home, and schools are closed. (Or, as Oprah might say, "You get to homeschool, and you get to homeschool, and you get to homeschool!") While it's not clear how long these new arrangements will last, it does make Paul's admonition in Ephesians 5 quite relevant: "Make the most of time, because the days are evil." As a parent, I want to do that. Sure, I've got plenty of things to do working from home, but I also have unexpected family time. How can we redeem it? According to one report, streaming video game platforms are setting new records for users and sessions. Makes sense, but we'll find it far easier to squander our time than actually redeem it. With all the news about the coronavirus, it's essential to talk together with kids about what it means to have faith and to deal with fears, and to pray together as families about both. There's also a great opportunity in the days ahead to talk through the critical big issues of our culture. With that opportunity in mind, the Colson Center is offering a free 5-day online live short course for students and their parents called "A Crash Course in Worldview and Culture," featuring worldview and apologetics guru Sean McDowell, youth and family expert Brett Kunkle, and me. The course is based on the books that Brett and I wrote, A Practical Guide to Culture and A Student's Guide to Culture. The course will be held Monday to Friday next week, at 1:00 PM Eastern time. Each session will be an hour and fifteen minutes and will be hosted live with interaction and Q&A time. I'll kick off the first session on Monday talking about "Fish Don't Know They're Wet: Why (and How) Culture Matters." We'll talk about what culture is and how Christians should think about culture. How we can shape it, and how it shapes us… On Tuesday, Brett Kunkle, founder and president of Maven, will lead a session called, "The Moment and the Story:  Why (and How) Worldview Matters." This session will help students think through not only their own worldview, but other worldviews too – a critical analysis tool in today's world. CONTINUE READING →

10 Ways Christians Can Exemplify Faith and Peace during COVID-19 Joel Ryan In just a few short weeks, classification of the coronavirus (COVID-19) escalated from outbreak, to epidemic, to global pandemic; and President Trump declared an official state of emergency for the United States and its citizens. And as anyone reading this knows, the impact of this kind of global crisis extends far beyond the sickness itself. There is not a person on this earth who hasn't been impacted by the coronavirus, in one way or another, and right now, many people are anxious, on edge, and afraid. Some have even gone to the extreme, bunkering down and "panic purchasing" toilet paper, respiratory masks, and bottled water in preparation for the "end of the world." Everyone will react to crisis and fear in different ways, but in trying and uncertain times like these, how should Christians respond? When the rest of the world is afraid and loses hope, how can Christians still bring the life and love of Jesus Christ to a sick and dying world?
