How to Speak about Faith in a Resistant Culture

·24 min
Dan and guest Shane Pruitt diagnose American Christianity's 'Jesus illiteracy problem'—people who claim to follow Jesus while rejecting biblical authority. Discussion traces cultural shift from God-talk (acceptable) through Jesus-talk (co-opted) to Bible-avoidance (current). Uses William Wilberforce example and statistics (90% of homes have Bibles) to expose the gap between Bible ownership and Bible reading. Prescriptive framework: parents must teach closed-hand doctrines (virgin birth, sinless life, literal resurrection, physical ascension, second coming) as non-negotiable foundations for evangelism, discipleship, and missions.
