Summary

Mary welcomes back Natasha Crain to talk culture – and define it in light of Jesus’ words in John 15:18. What do we mean when we say culture? And why would Jesus tell us they will hate us, unless they know what we believe? Natasha’s current book, “When Culture Hates You” is a clear and articulate look at a very timely subject as Christians find themselves more and more in the crosshairs of 2025 culture, which is different from 1958 culture, which might be varied in 2030, should the Lord tarry. What are the rules of engagement? Soup kitchens, alternative lifestyles, abortion? Who is to say what the rules are today in light of the killing of Charlie Kirk? Making sense of the hostility and moving about society armed with an understanding of the true nature of light vs dark is an important conversation today, and loving the people around us who do not know Jesus, how do we advocate for the common good? We talk about the gatekeepers in society and what it takes to be admitted – or shut out – of the public square.

0:00.0	Three, three, two, two, one, zero, zero, zero, zero,
0:07.8	from the studios of WORQ in Wisconsin, this is the stand-up for the truth podcast.
0:15.8	Today's issues, overlooked headlines, and biblical observations,
0:20.6	equipping the remnant around the globe.
0:23.4	Got your sword handy?
0:25.6	This is Stand Up for the Truth.
0:27.9	Hey there, it's Crash Connell, and we've got a fresh new podcast today, Thursday, September 18, 2025.
0:34.3	So you got a book with you here today.
0:36.0	I hope it's not as heavy as the one you had on Tuesday. No, it's not. And you dropped it and spilled everybody's coffee. So. Like a 4.0 on the table here. So you got a book to talk about today. Yes. It's been a while. And so good to have her back. Yeah, it is. And it's a loaded book. The size doesn't matter. The color pages don't matter. It is a loaded, loaded book. Absolutely loved it. Welcome to Standard for the Truth. My guest is Natasha Crane having her back today. What a blessing. We're going to discuss the book when culture hates you. And it just amazes me the timing of my podcast guests from week to week. I often book guests a month
1:13.0	or more ahead. I have no idea what is going to grab our attention on any given news cycle,
1:17.7	but this is perfect timing for this. So we are going to dig into that. I was telling her
1:22.2	before the podcast that I felt like, because there's so much great content and so well thought out that I would
1:28.4	read a chapter and just take a while and meditate on that and then read the next chapter instead
1:32.2	of reading the whole thing because I don't want to miss anything. That's how good it is. So my scripture
1:37.3	today is Psalm 100, which says make a joyful shout to the Lord, all lands serve the lord with gladness come before his presence
1:46.1	with singing know that the lord he is god it is he who has made us and not we ourselves we are his people
1:53.8	and the sheep of his pasture enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise
1:59.2	be thankful to him and bless his name.
2:01.8	For the Lord is good. His mercy is everlasting and his truth endures to all generations.
2:09.3	What wonderful passage. Let's pray together this morning. Lord, you are indeed worthy of all our
2:15.7	praise and our thanksgiving both now and forevermore.
2:19.3	Cause us to serve you with gladness in spite of the darkness that continues to descend upon us all, Lord.
