With a one minute look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with the point. Christian faithfulness, especially at a time of cultural chaos, isn't really about trying to do great things for God. In a tweet, my friend Katie Faust of them before us, explained, quote, Afraid for the nation, buy a house, plant a garden, get married, have lots of babies, help your children marry well, be great grandparents. You need and run for office, start a podcast, or lead a think tank.

The most powerful and countercultural work happens at home.

Amen.

She then cited Jeremiah 29, in which God told the exiles of Judah to build houses, live in them, plant gardens, eat their produce.

Look, it can be easy to equate greatness with fame or with the number of followers or with doing

something loud or something big.

What God asked for is faithfulness and whatever our hand finds to do and in the commitments

that we have made in his name.

That was true for the exiles in Babylon, and it's just as true for Christians in a chaotic cultural moment today.

For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street.
