Resources for Cultural Discernment

On Sunday, Matt taught from 1 John 4, reminding us that we must evaluate the messages we allow to shape us. As Christians, we have to filter the information we are receiving from the world around us through the person and work of Jesus Christ. In the information age, this task is harder than ever. Here’s a list of resources to help you get started:
