Is our culture lost for good?
Does God's plan to restore all things affect even our broken culture?
How can we participate in God's restoration?
Â
Our culture has unraveled in so many ways. It’s resulted in so much conflict, everywhere. Education. Media. Law. Politics. Religion. Entertainment. Business. Big tech. Social media. Family.
But let's not confuse the moment with the Story.
God continues to write a much larger Story amidst humanity’s ruins. It’s a story of love, justice, peace, forgiveness, goodness, joy and RESTORATION. That’s been God’s plan from the start. And we get to join Him.
In the midst of our broken world, God's design is not defeated. In this 6-lesson video course, you will explore how God's restoration influences all spheres of our lives: How we see human value, fight for family, pursue answers about gender and sexuality, carry out the Church's mission, and educate the next generation.
In this online course you will consider...
- The essential dignity, value and worth of human beings and how to stand for the unborn
- How our culture seeks to undermine God's design for the familyÂ
- How to stand for Holy Sexuality in the midst of our sexually confused cultureÂ
- Ways you are uniquely gifted to carry out the church's mission
- Strategies for educating your children to be free people in our world
- The reality of what it means to live as an Christian in our culture's current moment
It's common to feel discouraged and alone in our lost culture. We're left wondering:Â How can we possibly live faithful to God in a culture that has so obviously turned it's back on truth and demands our participation?Â
These are real questions. We grappled with these questions at the 2023 MAVEN California Conference and explored God’s plan for restoration. And now, using those sessions, we've compiled this video course to continue to explore how God's restoration affects all spheres of our lives. We’ll take on the tough issues. We won’t retreat. But we’ll also build. We’ll bring back hope. We’ll advance God’s Kingdom in the here and now.
In this course, you will be encouraged by how you practically live out God's plan for restoration in real life. And you will come away trained to navigate the difficult questions that our culture poses to us and to the next generation.
