Perspectives Class 9:00am

Perspectives is a discussion forum that examines current and sometimes controversial topics through the lens of Scripture, with the aim of being salt and light in our divided culture. Each week is a welcoming conversation that helps us wrestle with tough questions so that we are better able to represent Christ.

Upcoming Series: “The After Party”

For the exhausted, the hurting, and the faithful, The After Party is a six-session class that helps reframe our political identity away from the “what” of political positions and toward the “how” of being centered on Jesus. What Christians advocate for in politics is diverse. We disagree. Yet, we can find unity in how we discuss the issues we care about the most. In today’s political environment, faithfulness to a biblical how of political engagement shines as a radical challenge to both the Right and the Left. If you worry about what political polarization is doing to your community, your family, and your own well-being, The After Party will transform your political imagination. It’s time for us to go beyond party politics and, as Christians, get ready for the true “party” yet to come—the Wedding Feast of the Lamb.

The After Party is a project born of friendship among public theologians, Russell Moore (editor-in-chief of Christianity Today), David French (political commentator), and Curtis Chang (consulting professor at Duke Divinity School). Read more about it here.
