Season: 9 Episode: 129
Summary:
Anyone with eyes can see we are living in times where evil is celebrated and good is evil. “I just want to be happy” and “Don’t judge me” are the mantras of our day. Natasha Crain explains the reason secularism has seeped into the church and why many “Christians” look no different than the culture. Based on her new book Faithfully Different, Natasha will encourage you to stand up and stand out as you live faithfully different in a confused culture.
Quotables:
“Christians are more of an extenstion of seculare culture rather than a distinct light to it.”
“You have to understand culture before you can respond to it and distinguish yourself from it.”
“Equip yourself with biblical knowedge and then equip yourself with cultural knowledge.”

Question One:
You are notorious for writing books to parents on how to equip their children to defend the faith, but you switched gears a bit with your new book Faithfully Different. What’s the reason for that?
Question Two:
Will you share the stats of those who claim to be Christian in America compared to those who are found with a biblical worldview?
Quetion Three:
I found it interesting when you explained that America is not a Christian nation because many think we are. For those who don’t know what we mean by secular culture, can you break that down and help us understand?
Question Four:
You have a saying in your book that I absolutely love and highlighted each time. It says: Feelings are the ultimate guide, happiness is the ultimate goal, and judging is the ultimate sin. God is the ultimate guess. How has this made its way into the church?
Question Five:
As Christians, it can be disheartening to see what’s taking place in our culture – and in the church. What is your advice for Christians who want to stay faithful to Christ and hold to a biblical worldview?
