Pastor Andrew Staggs and Dr. Craig Heilmann dive into a profound discussion about the current state of the world, the role of Christianity, and the importance of living a flourishing life according to biblical principles.
In this conversation, they explore the shifting perspectives on truth, the impact of a society moving away from God, and the importance of living a good, attractive life as Christians. They discuss the challenges faced by the Christian community in the Western world and the need for Christians to be the hands and feet of Jesus, making a difference in people's lives.
Dr. Craig shares his experiences in ministry leadership, his passion for impacting culture, public theology, and ethics, and the practical ways his church in Auckland has been making a difference in their community.
This video is a precursor to the 2-day Intensive in August, where they will delve deeper into these topics, providing resources, teachings, and practical ways to interact with culture while maintaining biblical truths.
Whether you're a church leader feeling like a punching bag for culture or a Christian seeking to live a fulfilled, this conversation will provide you with insights and inspiration to navigate the current cultural landscape.
