Like fish in water, we’re immersed in culture in ways we don’t realize. Christians talk about culture as something “out there” in the world that influences how we think, or maybe as a society that disdains us and our faith. By this way of thinking, culture is an abstract concept we’re meant to hold at arm’s length. But culture is more than something “out there” that we can engage, resist, or step back from. It’s much more concrete.

I love nature documentaries, especially those narrated by David Attenborough. Whether watching with my children or on my own, I love seeing the majesty of the snowy Alps or kelp forests.

Viewers are beckoned to take responsibility for causing a poor animal's plight and to consider how they can fix things before the species is gone forever.

Scientific journals have urged researchers and editors to consider the social justice implications of their work.

When we create our identities by our own individual fiat rather than receive our identities from God’s words of life, we create counter-creations, fictional worlds which have no correspondence to what is real and true and good. The great misconception, however, is that Christians affirm that God hates us, when in reality it is that God hates our hatred of the good words he has spoken.
