Plugged In

Whether it's TV boxsets, Instagram stories or historical novels, we all consume culture. So it's important that we are neither bewitched by it--buying into everything it tells us--or bewildered by it--lashing out in judgment or retreating into a Christian bubble. Dan Strange encourages Christians to engage with everything they watch, read and play in a positive and discerning way. He also teaches Christians how to think and speak about culture in a way that plugs in to a bigger and better reality--the story of King Jesus, and his cosmic plan for the world. It's possible to watch TV and read novels and play video games in a way that actually feeds our faith, rather than withers it. It's even possible for you--yes, you--to be that person who starts off talking to a mate about last night's football and ends up talking about Jesus. So be equipped to engage with culture and use it for God.
