Summary

We live in a highly emotional world where arguments of morality and justice are built upon social topics like abortion, sexuality, gender, and culture. In this episode, pastor Dale Partridge argues that while defending these issues facing the church is helpful at times, our biblical mandate as Christians is not to defend every politically charged issue but to defend and present the Gospel. Join him as he breaks down the text of 1 Peter 3:15 and helps Christians understand how to invest their intellectual efforts for the most fruitful return.

0:00.0	Welcome to this episode of Real Christianity. My name is Dale Partridge.
0:12.5	Each week I offer 15-20 minute answers to tough theological and pastoral questions.
0:18.7	This is a 100% listener supported audio ministry of Relearn.org.
0:24.7	And for those who don't know, our mission at Relearn.org is to educate and equip ordinary Christians
0:30.6	to plant biblical, confessional, and mission house churches.

1:13.4	understand gender? I'm going to be answering a lot of these questions and how we should
1:18.4	be looking at this as Christians.
1:20.8	But before we begin, I want to just make two quick announcements for this episode.
1:25.4	The first is about our program, our companion ministry, standinvictory.org. This is a wonderful
1:33.3	program on how to break free from the bondage of pornography addiction or pornography use
1:39.4	to the power of the gospel. If you are struggling with this, we've had hundreds, maybe even
1:45.2	close to 1,000, but hundreds of people come through and the testimonies are just outstanding.
1:51.7	It's not because of our ministry or because of our program, it's because of the word of
1:55.2	God and the power of the gospel and setting people free from the bondage of sin. You guys
