3 Things Christians Must Do to Rebuild Culture

Touchstone talk by Jonathan Pageau. Video here (prompted at the right place).

From the video description:

I explore how our modern world—built on endless disruption and self-expression—has reached its breaking point. We’re witnessing the collapse of a culture that forgot its source, but that’s also at the beginnings of renewal. From art and architecture to worship and storytelling, I share how Christians can remember, celebrate, and create once again—recovering beauty, meaning, and participation in the divine order. This is a moment of opportunity: to rediscover Christ as the pattern of reality and rebuild culture on that foundation.

OWNING CHARLIE: Christian Evangelist, Apologist & Martyr

In this podcast episode, Dr. Michael Thiessen, Pastor Nate Wright, and Dr. Joe Boot discuss the implications of Charlie Kirk’s death and the church’s response to it. They express concern over the reluctance of many church leaders to acknowledge Kirk’s martyrdom and the broader cultural implications of this silence. The conversation delves into the truncation of the gospel, the political nature of the Christian message, and the need for the church to engage with cultural issues rather than retreating into silence. They emphasize the importance of recognizing the gospel as a transformative force in society and the necessity of addressing violence and injustice from a biblical perspective.

Daniel in the Lions’ Den

Brilliant painting by Briton Rivière

I’d never heard of this artist (Briton Rivière) before, I’ve never seen this picture before (Daniel in the Lions’ Den). 

There’s a video about it titled: ‘This Painting Is an Absolute Masterpiece’

It really is brilliant! 

Interesting that it was particularly popular in Victorian times.
