Paganism is back, says Stephen Presley. Today's culture is increasingly like the ancient world. What can we learn from how the early church engaged their world?

Stephen Presley joins Benjamin Quinn and Ken Keathley to discuss how we can have a "culturally discerning spiritual life” – especially in a complex political environment. The conversation addresses gospel principles, the kingdom of God, the need for a moral apologetic, and how and why “their political discourse and their public life was lived through hope.”

- Stephen Presley's new book is titled 'Cultural Sanctification.'
