Culture Christianity vs Biblical Christianity: The Hard Conversation | Reed Uberman | #17
🎙️ Why are so many Christians staying silent on the biggest cultural issues of our day? In this raw, unscripted conversation, we cut straight to the heart of the problem: too many believers and pastors are shaped by culture instead of shaping it with biblical truth. We talk about the dangerous gap between “culturally Christian” responses and what Scripture actually calls us to do.From religious liberties being stripped away, to why Ben Shapiro (a Jewish conservative) is often bolder than the average Christian, to the hard question of whether conservatism can survive if the Church keeps hiding — this episode pulls no punches.We also explore:• How pastors and believers are letting culture dictate what they’re willing to speak on• Are Christians hiding inside the church walls instead of engaging the culture?• How should a Christian actually engage in politics and culture without compromising the Gospel?• Why a Christian *cannot* stay out of politicsIf you’re tired of shallow, feel-good Christianity and want real talk about faith in the real world, this is for you.Drop your biggest takeaway in the comments 👇 What issue do you wish more pastors would speak on biblically?🔥 Subscribe for more unfiltered conversations at the intersection of faith, culture, and real life.Be sure to get more from Reed Uberman @reeduberman (https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCmfkwB9x41E3MIfARSMaSYg) https://www.instagram.com/reeduberman/#CultureAndChristianity #BiblicalTruth #ReligiousLiberty #ChristianPolitics #BenShapiro #ChristianCulture #FaithAndCulture #ChurchAndPolitics #ConservativeChristian #SpeakTruth
