Summary

Today we’re diving deep into one of the toughest challenges Christians are facing right now—how to live faithfully in a culture that’s openly hostile to biblical truth. My friend Natasha Crain joins me to talk about her powerful new book, When Culture Hates You, and how we can stay grounded, gracious, and bold in our witness even when the world pushes back. We’ll talk about why our faith has to shape our politics (not the other way around), why knowing your Bible is key to standing firm, and how to keep your heart soft when the battle gets exhausting. If you’re feeling weary or wondering if it’s even worth it to keep speaking truth—this episode will remind you that it absolutely is.
