Not only is it important to “know what you believe and why you believe it,” but it’s also crucial that we learn how to effectively communicate those beliefs to outsiders. How, for example, do we avoid getting into heated arguments? What’s the best way to challenge opposing points of view? On this edition of the White Horse Inn, the hosts discuss these matters with Greg Koukl, president of Stand to Reason and author of, Tactics: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions.

Christ in a Post-Christian Culture
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.”
Re-Thinking Christ & 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 […]
The City of God
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.
Creation, Fall & Redemption
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 […]
The Foolishness of God
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. But as the hosts discuss on this program, the Church’s primary task has nothing to do with our own activity. Proclaiming the gospel of Christ […]
Losing Our Religion
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? These questions and more will be addressed on this edition of the White Horse Inn.
The Case for Civility (Part 1)
On this special edition of the White Horse Inn Michael Horton talks with Os Guinness about pursuing civility in a Post-Christian culture. How are we best to make our case in the public square? In what ways have Christians failed as they have attempted to do this in recent years? Os is the author of […]
The Case for Civility (Part 2)
On this edition of the White Horse Inn Michael Horton continues his conversation with special guest Os Guinness, author of The Case for Civility, And Why Our Future Depends on It, published by HarperOne
Christ in a Pre-Christian Culture
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 […]
We Preach Christ Crucified
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 […]

Christian Influencers Don’t Know the Purpose of Theology
Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, Walter Strickland, and Caleb Wait discuss how theological formation, when done primarily through digital media, online platforms and influencers, can be counter productive in the life of the church.
The Irreverency of Speculation: What Paul Teaches Us About Conspiracies
One year ago, on September 10th, 2025, Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Twenty-five years ago, the United States was attacked by terrorists on 9/11. I will not attempt to wax eloquent about what these events mean for us today and what civic life is like in America in the wake of these evil atrocities.
Nolan’s Odyssey Doesn’t Subvert Homer
The year of 2026 is a very strange moment in our secular age. Thinking Christians are grappling with how to speak into a moment largely galvanized by polarization, AI slop, institutional distrust, and memes. If you’re curious about cultural apologetics, you’ve most likely encountered the work of Charles Taylor …
Lost Girls: Destroyed by New Age Beliefs and Unable to Find Restoration
In a recent church small group, in which I was the youngest participant by several decades, I witnessed a surprising display of emotion. Older women—saints in the church who have nurtured and fed me literally and spiritually—tearfully sharing painful memories from their middle school years.
