When Culture Hates You with Natasha Crain


Listen Later

Summary:

In this conversation, Dr. Michael Easley and Natasha Crain address the increasing hostility Christians face in today’s culture—not simply for what they believe, but that they believe. They examine the biblical call to suffer for righteousness, the roots of cultural rebellion, and why defining the “common good” must begin with God’s standards, not shifting societal norms.

Together, they unpack how social media fuels tribalism and outrage, and they offer practical encouragement for Christians to stay rooted in truth while engaging the world around them. Crain and Easley also confront misconceptions about pro-life advocacy, especially accusations of misogyny, and equip believers to respond with clarity and conviction.

The conversation draws a sharp contrast between fleeting cultural happiness and enduring biblical joy, reminding us that true good is defined by God—not by personal preference or public opinion. With wisdom and urgency, they challenge listeners to engage cultural issues thoughtfully, biblically, and with bold grace in every sphere of influence.


Takeaways:

  • Suffering for righteousness is a biblical reality—not an exception.
  • The common good must be defined by God's standards, not cultural sentiment.
  • Cultural anger often stems from rebellion against God, not just disagreement.
  • Christians are called to be salt and light—engaging, not retreating.
  • Joy rooted in faith is far greater than the fleeting pursuit of happiness.
  • Everyone has a sphere of influence—faithful presence starts where you are.
