Ep. 020 to Election Day - The Case for Hope: An Antidote to Christian Pessimism

On today’s episode, Kirk is joined by his pastor, Rex Holt, and the two men ask the question: is it reasonable for Christians to hope that our country and culture can change? For many of us in the family of faith, there is a growing despair and an idea that the world is too far gone from the ways of the gospel, and there is no hope for repair. Rex and Kirk believe this is the wrong mindset for Christians to have, and point to the circumstances in which Jesus lived and transformed an entire culture. The Roman Empire produced a dark culture and bleak circumstances, and yet the light of the Church penetrated the darkness of the culture of the time. The Bible reminds us that the Church is a victorious institution, and while it may seem like the family of faith is "losing" current cultural battles, we can't just focus on the short term. Christ followers have a great calling to disciple to the nations and bring the culture of heaven to earth, just as Jesus did in the time of the Roman Empire, and we must have hope in this mission.
