We discover two extremes we should avoid: withdrawing from the world and losing sight of the central issue, the gospel. Being salt and light in our society requires us to address societal issues, and we learn that we should prioritize certain social issues because they are strongly connected to the gospel. We address the sanctity of all human life, sexual immorality, helping the helpless, and war.

What the Bible teaches about the family is probably under attack right now more than anything else we believe. We talk about ways the culture is opposed to God’s good design for the family. We discover what biblical family, marriage, and parenting look like and why we should be motivated to be the best husband, wife, father, mother, son, or daughter.Recommended Reading/Resources
