Can you actively participate in the world without getting ensnared in the non-biblical messages? Listen to this episode to find out why I believe Scripture’s answer to that is a resounding “YES!” and the qualifier that goes along with that yes. 

The culture we live in is saturated with many messages that offer the same alluring promise the serpent offered up to Adam and Eve in the Garden: you can be like God - you don’t need God when you can be your own god.

In the face of the potential danger of being ensnared by these viewpoints, many Christians opt for the “bubble-wrap” approach to life. But if we are tucked away in our Christians-only bubble, how are we to be salt and light to hurting people. Those people long for a real and lasting solution to the emptiness and brokenness they experience as an absolute reality. If we avoid them like the plague how can we share the fullness and healing we’ve found in Jesus?

How do you navigate being in the world and interacting with others who live life from a non-biblical vantage point? How do you enthusiastically engage with people who think differently from you, while protecting your own heart and mind—without whipping out the bubble-wrap? Find out how to guard your heart and mind from non-biblical worldviews in this episode!
