Standing up for truth in this cultural moment can be challenging and vulnerable, just ask Dr. Christina Crenshaw, an associate of Cultural Engagement and Leadership with Dallas Theological Seminary. In 2021 she was thrust in the media spotlight after taking a stand on a current hot button issue (which we talk about in this episode).

From asking more questions, to finding studies and data around the topic at hand, and leaning into lived experience, we get a full picture of what it means to be equipped for the world as Christians.

If you have ever found yourself discouraged by current cultural norms, this whole series is for you.

You can find Christina on her website or Instagram

Some things you heard on the show

Courage and Calling by Gordon T. Smith

“Little t truths and big T truths are different. Let’s not lose sight that we are all created in the image of God, we were created for a purpose, we were given a life to steward for the glory of God. So what are capital T truths worth fighting for?” – Christina Crenshaw
