Post-Christian America

Contemporary America is battling with urbanization, pluralism, relativism, globalism, individualism, narcissism, consumerism, post-modernism, post-Christendom, among other things. What does this say to the church? What is our missional responsibility and calling by God? How do we best reach this culture, by accommodation or by living counter-cultural? Be able to interact with all of these things.
