Cultural Apologetics


Listen Later

In Episode 4 of Season 4, hosts Shane Pruitt, Paul Worcester, and Lacey Villasenor are joined by special guest Trevin Wax to explore the topic of cultural apologetics. They dive deep into ways that the next generation can engage with and navigate the prevailing ideologies of our time without being swayed by them. The discussion covers the most influential ideologies shaping the minds of young people today, including radical individualism, the quest for identity within groups, and the rise of pseudo-religions.

      • “Whether it’s social media, sermons, podcasts, or conversations at a coffee shop, church service, or large-group gathering on campus, whatever way we can get the story out there is what we want to take advantage of. We have the greatest story of all time.” – Shane Pruitt
      • “At some point when you cross the threshold of true conversion, you’re not simply saying, ‘This is true for me.’ You’re also saying, ‘I believe this is the truth about the world.’” – Trevin Wax
      • “The best stories win the day, and there’s nothing more compelling than the story of Jesus.” – Paul Worcester
