How are Christians viewed in the broader culture? We blush at the possibilities. Brainwashed fanatics? Out-of-touch dogmatists? Buffoons? The task of bearing faithful witness to Jesus is complicated by persistent―and not altogether baseless―cultural stereotypes. In our post-Christian society, thoughtful Christians are considering again how to engage the dominant culture as a minority, a counterpublic, amid varying perceptions and misperceptions. In this show, Harry Edwards asks Timothy Muehlhoff and Rick Langer authors of the book Winsome Persuasion and special guest Lenny Esposito what our interactions with the dominant cultural ethos should look like. How might we be persuasive and civil at the same time? How should we respond to those who ridicule and caricature us? How can we challenge the beliefs of other communities with love and respect? Muehlhoff and Langer present a model for cultural engagement that integrates communication theory, theology, and Scripture. Penetrating, wise, and relentlessly practical, it includes test cases and examples from history, such as William Wilberforce and Harriet Beecher Stowe. Now more than ever, Christians need what Winsome Persuasion offers: a compelling vision of public engagement that is both shrewd and gracious.

Craig Hazen, Ph.D. tells a story of one of his experiences when he was invited to talk to students in a very liberal university. His encouraging presentation gives us confidence that the truth claims of Christianity is indefeasible and of such importance that we are obligated, as followers of Jesus, to share. The kinds of questions the average skeptics ask are not worrisome and nothing to be afraid of.
