Hi, this is John Stone Street and I want to invite you to join us for the next Break Point Forum Live in Greenville, South Carolina, Thursday, April 3rd.

0:10.0

Joining me will be Dr. Andrew Walker and Dr. Cady McCoy will be talking about the possibility of Christians leading a new sexual revolution by living as image bearers male and female. We live in a culture

0:22.6

deeply confused about what it means to be human, especially what it means to be human, male, and

0:27.6

female. It's time for a new sexual revolution, just like Christians in the first century were

0:32.5

known for their countercultural behavior when it came to valuing all human life and living faithfully with each other,

0:40.5

it's time for Christians today to spark a new sexual revolution. It starts with understanding

1:34.8

the population of Norway are formal members of the state church, only about 2% attend church.

1:41.6

That's a stark contrast to the U.S. where about 25% of Americans attend church weekly,

1:47.6

about a third once a month, and two-thirds show up at least once a year. That's not the case in

1:52.6

Norway, where even a tiny increase is notable. And the same is true of other European nations as well.

1:59.2

Nations that were once the heartland

2:00.8

of Protestant Christianity and once sent thousands of missionaries around the world, but are now
