Description

In this breakout session from TGC's 2023 National Conference, a panel featuring Vincent Bacote, Steve DeWitt, John Dickson, and Phil Ryken considers how race, sex, politics, and social media are tearing evangelical communities apart. They reflect on what pastors, teachers, and other Christian leaders can do to restore true Christian fellowship and empower effective gospel witness that is faithful to Scripture and relevant to culture.

They discuss:

  • Challenges in the evangelical church
  • The church's reputation and loyalty
  • What it means to live in a post-Christian society
  • The need for pastoral resilience
  • The term "evangelical" and its usefulness in the broader world
  • Educational decisions for Christian families
  • Political emphasis in the church and the need for discernment
