Cultural Institute

In this edition of the AFA Cultural Institute, Ed Vitagliano and M.D. Perkins explore the historical effectiveness of boycotts as a means of holding corporations accountable. They highlight how the American Family Association has successfully employed this strategy, most notably during the recent Target boycott, which drew over one million signatures within just a few weeks. While some Christians question the biblical basis for boycotts, Ed and M.D. explain how they can serve as a powerful form of stewardship—enabling believers to express their values through intentional spending.

The rush to embrace a new definition of gender has been shocking. From the media to the elementary classroom to our government and legal system, our cultural institutions are being pressured to conform to the new secular orthodoxy. In this AFA Cultural Institute session, Christian author and apologist Tom Gilson explains what parents need to know and what children need to hear about the transgender revolution.

Exceptional talents and intelligence are no match for the ordinary person willing to sacrifice property and reputation for the good of others. Today, the well-being of our homes, churches, and nation depends on these kinds of people. In "When Ordinary People Stand in the Gap," Bryan Fischer examines the lives of common individuals who overcame fear, opposition, and overwhelming odds for the welfare of others.

In today’s culture, the definition of marriage is deemed debatable. In “Standing for Biblical Marriage,” Bishop E.W. Jackson encourages believers to stand firm on the original interpretation of marriage as defined by the Bible. In this edition of AFA’s Cultural Institute, Bishop Jackson uses verses from the Bible and personal experience to remind viewers of the value of the marriage union in our families, and ultimately our nation.
