Living in a Post-Christian Culture
I know its still a debatable idea, but most of us living in the north east or the west coast are living in a post-Christian culture.
Ive recently listened to two talks by two different guys from different background. Both come down with similar strategies.
What does this mean for those of you reading this post:
No matter what style you like, if your goal is to see more people interact with Jesus, you need to listen to at least one of these guys.
Here is a bit of background:
Darren Patrick is the Pastor of the Journey in St. Louis and is connected with the Acts 29 Network.
David Bisgrove is one of the Assistant Pastor who have taken on some of the preaching at Redeemer NYC.
So for all those of you who think that wearing jeans with no holes is dressing up for church, and who are know the difference between emergent and emerging go check out Darren Patrick’s Talk. For those of you who have at least one blue blazer with the golden buttons, and are more comfortable with the organ than a gibson, you must listen to David Gisbon’s talk at the Gospel Coalition.
I didn’t listen to either… but is a post-”christian” society a bad thing? i’d say no, but I suppose it’d take too much typing to explain.
Posted by Chris on Wednesday, Sep. 12, 2007.Well thats an interesting question. I think that some people will argue that we are not in a post-Christian culture.
The question that these two guys are trying to answer is: how does the church work differently in a post christian cultural, than they did in a Christianized one?
