Cultural Apologetics

Show Notes:
In this episode, we discuss Acts 17 and Paul's adventures in sharing the gospel. Because it reads like an adventure movie, we consider the ways we can connect with non-believers using popular movies.
Gospel: Ephesians 2:1-10
Cultural Apologetics:
"In addition, a cultural apologist operates at two levels. First, she operates globally by paying attention to how those within a culture perceive, think, and live, and then she works to create a world that is more welcoming and thrilling and beautiful and enchanted. Secondly, she operates locally, removing obstacles to, and providing positive reasons for, faith so individuals or groups will see Christianity as true and satisfying, plausible and desirable."
