When our faith is challenged, the best response isnt to fall back. Its to go deeper.Were living in a cultural storm. Perhaps you feel it. Postmodern philosophy and secular ideologies have trickled from academia to the broader culture, eroding belief in basic Christian doctrines. Christian teachings on family and sexuality, once respected by the wider culture, are now considered suspect or even dangerous. Increasingly, the Western world finds the church unnecessary, offensive, and irrelevant. Many Christians feel disoriented and discouraged.A Compelling Faith in a Compromising Culture invites and shows us how to remain steadfast and faithful in this unique and challenging time in history. Pastor and professor Mike Tatlock explores how every aspect of our lives-our identity, appetites, behavior, and the way we relate to God and each other-must be rooted in Gods purposes. Readers reflect on topics like engaging the world without being scared, discernment over deception, contending for the faith without damaging our faith, feasting on the goodness of God, spiritual resilience, flourishing, and more.Can we live in such a way that our faith is compelling and not compromising, complacent, or combatant? We can be tempted to despair or hide, to revile instead of reveal. This book offers another option. To live a compelling faith and to offer a compelling faith. Get a glimpse of your purpose in Gods cosmic plan, redeem the time, and joyfully serve Him regardless of what is transpiring in our world.The storm is only going to grow stronger. Its time to send our roots down deep. Tatlock shows us how to cultivate A Compelling Faith in a Compromising Culture.
