What should be the role of a Christian in the world? Should we engage with it, or withdraw? What might be implications for a culture if Christians are not a Christ-like influence? What does it look like to be a Christ-like influence in culture? What does it mean to be a “change agent?” In this session we will explore the cultural mandate, some of the basics of Christians and cultural influence, and why we should care.
