What is the proper relationship between Christianity and culture? How does one faithfully witness to Christ in our increasingly secularized society? On this edition of the White Horse Inn, the hosts attempt to answer these questions as they introduce the new theme for 2009: “Christ in a Post-Christian Culture.”

Some Christians retreat from secular culture while others attempt to influence or govern it. Which approach is more Biblical, the Amish approach or that of Constantine? That’s the topic for this edition of the White Horse Inn, and joining the program for this discussion is Dr. Craig Carter, author of Re-thinking Christ & Culture: A […]

On this edition of the White Horse Inn the hosts continue their discussion of the relationship between Christianity and culture, focusing in particular on Augustine’s important contribution to this conversation as found in his classic work, The City of God.

What was God’s original purpose for mankind, and how did that purpose change after the Fall? What are we to do now that we have been expelled from Eden? And is this banishment eternal, or is there another way back to God’s presence? These questions and more will be discussed on this edition of the […]

What is the most important task of the Christian Church in our time? Many Christians think the answer to that question has to do with some form of cultural transformation.

Our year-long theme this year is “Christ in a Post-Christian Culture.” But that implies that we once had a “Christian Culture.” So what were the origins of Christendom, and why did the Christian West eventually abandon its faith?

How should we preach Christ in a Post-Christian culture? Surprisingly, the answer to that question is best discovered by examining the way the Apostle Paul preached Christ in the context of his Pre-Christian culture. So on this edition of the White Horse Inn, the hosts are beginning a brief series walking through some of the […]

Countless churches across the country offer relevant messages week after week that focus on wisdom for life, tips for marriage and family, money management, etc. But the Apostle Paul preferred a message of foolishness. Though “Greeks search for wisdom,” he wrote, “we preach Christ crucified.” What are the implications of this approach in our own […]

The church today finds itself amidst a revived trend of advocating for hearing God speaking to his people apart from his word. While there are new figures in this movement, the content of their message is hardly original. One can think of late medieval mysticism’s emphasis on a mystical encounter with God […]

Matt Greiner joins Sola Media’s Director of Content Caleb Wait to discuss the tension between faith, art, and public platforms.

I have had the pleasure of corresponding with David Kirwa Tarus while writing my children’s book on Byang Kato (an important African theologian). I have a high estimation of Tarus’s work in his African context, and I am a firm believer in the importance of learning from the global church because we can […]

The Protestant Reformation sought to restore Christian doctrine and* *worship practice in accord with Scripture.
