G. Shane Morris on Christianity and Culture, Technology, Family, and Friendship

One of the biblical themes that we read about God’s people is that we are sojourners. This means that we are resident aliens. We reside somewhere that we do not ultimately belong. In other words, where we live now is not our true home. As sojourners in this world, there are many ways that we can experience the otherness and difficulty of not belonging to it. The Christian Worldview helps us to understand how we are different from our surrounding culture and teaches us the truth. I’m excited to have a guest who’s an excellent Christian worldview guide in our confusing culture. His name is Shane Morris and we discussed a wide range of topics.

Shane and I began our discussion by talking about being fathers of young families and how a Christian value of the family sometimes puts you at odds with the values of our culture. We then discussed how technology influences us and how the church should respond. Finally, we talked about how the driving presuppositions of our culture are opposed to what the Bible teaches us about ourselves and life.
