Faith and Modern Society

The debate over abortion has been reduced to slogans on both sides. This plan refuses slogans. It examines what Scripture teaches about the unborn, the ethics of life and death, real reasons women seek abortions, the church's obligation to both mother and child, and extends to a consistent ethic of life including euthanasia and capital punishment.

A 14-day exploration of the most divisive issues in modern public life, read through the lens of Scripture rather than partisan platforms. Discover what the left gets right, what the right gets right, what both get wrong, and what the Bible actually teaches.

Is environmentalism a Christian cause? Francis Schaeffer argued in 1970 that Christians should be the foremost environmentalists — because the earth belongs to God, not us. This plan examines what 'dominion' actually means, what 'creation care' requires, and how to hold the Bible's high view of humanity with its demand to steward the earth.

A 7-day beginner-friendly guide to thinking biblically about civic life. Learn how to pray for leaders, vote with conscience, disagree without dividing, and hold earthly citizenship loosely while living as citizens of heaven.

The question of gender, sexuality, and marriage is splitting churches, ending friendships, and forcing every Christian to take a position. This 10-day plan refuses easy answers. It traces what Scripture actually teaches about the body, gender, desire, marriage, and love — and honestly confronts the failures of both traditional and progressive positions.

Is God a capitalist or a socialist? Neither — but He has much to say about wealth, poverty, generosity, work, and government's role. The Bible's economic ethic affirms private property, demands radical generosity, condemns both laziness and oppression, and holds the wealthy to a terrifying standard.

The American church is one of the most racially segregated institutions in the country. This plan examines what Scripture teaches about ethnicity, justice, reconciliation, and the church's complicity in racial sin — while honestly assessing contemporary frameworks like CRT.

A 10-day study of how Jesus navigated the explosive political landscape of first-century Palestine. Discover why he rejected every faction's agenda and inaugurated a kingdom that subverts all earthly power.

Is America a 'Christian nation'? The rise of Christian nationalism has forced believers to reckon with the relationship between faith and country. This plan examines what Scripture teaches about the dangers of fusing religion with political power — and the equal danger of privatizing faith into irrelevance.

The immigration debate has become a proxy war for deeper questions about identity, security, and compassion. This plan cuts through political rhetoric by examining the Bible's extensive teaching on foreigners, refugees, borders, and hospitality — confronting both 'open borders' and 'close the borders' camps with what Scripture demands.

America is the most heavily armed and most churchgoing Western nation. This plan examines what Scripture teaches about violence, self-defense, protecting the innocent, and the radical nonviolence of Jesus — asking whether Christians have confused constitutional rights with biblical commands.
