To say that our cultural moment is judgmental is to make a point so obvious that it verges on being inane. The engine of our public discourse seems to be equal parts vindictiveness and character assassination. In this charged environment, Christians are often accused of being especially judgmental, and Scripture (the Old Testament in particular) is often singled out as depicting a capricious and judgmental God. However, when we press into scripture, we find that humanity always struggles most with God's mercy—not his judgment. In this two-part series, we'll explore the surprising hope that comes from resting in the God whose mercy never comes as the expense of his justice.

In the U.S. in particular, many people feel that we've simply outgrown Christianity. In this two-part series, we'll explore the vital task of recovering the significance of Christianity for contemporary people.

From Jesus of Nazareth to the Apostle Paul, the Christian's life is defined by a steadfast devotion to the Kingdom of God, rather than the kingdom of this world. Though Christians don't necessarily see worldly and spiritual success as mutually exclusive, they do prioritize Christ and His kingdom above everything else—a decision that often leads to a life that looks like failure to the surrounding culture. In this 3-part series, we'll discuss the Christian vision of success and see how it challenges the many competing pictures of success.

Moral judgments are unavoidable. They're also the most dangerous, and have provided the impetus for some of humanity's greatest atrocities. How do we make moral judgments without viewing ourselves as superior to others?

More of an accusation than a question, the mindset behind this phrase is exceedingly popular. Think of Christ's timeless words: "Judge not, that you be not judged. (Matthew 7)" The awkward fact remains: Judgment is unavoidable; we can't not judge. So, how do we learn to make wise judgments, and avoid becoming a judgmental person?

Sadly, many people think that Christians are nothing more than hypocrites who hold everyone else to an impossible standard. But if we're honest with ourselves we have to admit that we frequently fail to live up to our own standards. Hypocrisy is not the church's problem; it's not the government's problem; it's not the media's problem; it's our problem. Is there a cure? Is it possible to live a truly authentic life? We'll explore these issues in this series on the challenge of hypocrisy.

Our cultural climate is one of incessant reaction. The pressure to have an opinion on every conceivable subject is pervasive and intense. This episode considers some practical ways of recovering thoughtful responses.
