Welcome to the 2025 Cultural Issues Blog Series
We’re living in an age of noise—an age where confusion is called compassion, rebellion is branded as liberation, and silence is often mistaken for wisdom. But when the foundations are being shaken, what can the righteous do?
They can speak truth—in love, with courage, and with clarity.
This ongoing series is my attempt to do just that: to tackle the toughest cultural questions of our day from a Christian, biblical worldview. From abortion to AI, gender to education, family to freedom, each post draws on Scripture to help believers think biblically, walk faithfully, and speak wisely in a world that desperately needs clarity.
Each article is anchored in the authority of God’s Word, seasoned with pastoral warmth, and written to help ordinary Christians engage extraordinary times.
Series Overview
Each month, we explore one central theme through a series of blog posts. Click on any month below to dive into that topic.
January: Foundations of a Biblical Worldview
Before we critique culture, we must understand the lens through which we see it. This series lays the theological and narrative foundation for a biblical worldview—Creation, Fall, Redemption, and the Lordship of Christ—framing everything that follows.
February: Life and the Sanctity of Life
Life is sacred because it’s made by God. In a world that cheapens human worth, this series offers a clear, compassionate biblical case for the sanctity of life from conception to natural death, affirming the dignity of every image-bearer.
March: Gender and Sexuality
Gender is not a social construct—it’s a divine design. This series engages the complex and controversial questions surrounding identity, sexuality, and LGBTQ+ ideology with truth, clarity, and redemptive grace grounded in Genesis and the Gospel.
April: Marriage and Family
The family is under fire—and it’s not accidental. This series defends God’s blueprint for marriage, parenting, and singleness, calling the Church to protect the home as the frontline of cultural and spiritual formation.
May: Gender and Cultural Ideologies
The cultural flashpoints of our day aren’t random—they’re revelatory. From cancel culture to Pride Month, this series examines the frontlines of spiritual warfare in the public square, equipping believers to respond wisely and walk faithfully.
June : In His Image: Justice, Race, and the Gospel
Justice begins with Genesis, not ideology. This series contrasts biblical justice with modern counterfeit versions, confronting racism, affirming the imago Dei in every ethnicity, and calling the Church to gospel-centered reconciliation and truth.
July: Technology and Ethics
The digital age is discipling us, often more than the Church. This series explores how technology shapes our identity, ethics, and worship, equipping believers to navigate AI, social media, and digital habits with biblical discernment.
August: The Church and Public Policy
Faith is never private, and public policy is never neutral. This series explores the biblical role of government, the believer’s political responsibilities, and how to remain faithful when Caesar demands what belongs to God.
September: Education and Worldview Formation
Education is discipleship. Whether at home, in public schools, or Christian institutions, this series explores how formative environments shape hearts and minds—and how parents and churches can recover the task of worldview training.
October: The Future of the Church in a Secular Age
The Church’s mission hasn’t changed—but the culture has. This series explores how the local church can thrive, witness, and endure in a post-Christian world, offering gospel-centered hope for a faithful remnant in uncertain times.
November: Navigating Religious Pluralism
“All roads lead to God” is a popular lie with eternal consequences. This series addresses the exclusivity of Christ, the challenge of pluralism, and how Christians can engage atheists, skeptics, and other religions with truth and grace.
December: Advent and the Gospel
In a culture of distraction and despair, Advent re-centers us. This series points to the Incarnation of Christ as the anchor of history and the hope of humanity—reminding us that the Light has come, and He will come again.
Why This Series Matters to Me
I didn’t write these posts to stir controversy or win arguments. I wrote them because I believe the Church is called to clarity in a time of confusion—and that clarity begins with seeing the world through the lens of God’s Word.
My goal in exploring these issues is simple: to help Christians engage today’s culture with a biblical worldview. Not with fear. Not with anger. But with truth, love, and conviction.
We live in a world that desperately needs hope—real hope. Not shallow optimism or political sloganeering, but the kind of hope that’s rooted in the gospel of Jesus Christ. That hope comes when we anchor ourselves in Scripture and learn to walk faithfully, think clearly, and speak wisely—no matter what the headlines say.
So if you’re weary from the chaos… if you’ve wrestled with how to live out your faith in a culture that often opposes it… or if you just want to grow deeper in biblical thinking—this space is for you.
I hope this series strengthens your faith, sharpens your mind, and equips your hands and heart to live boldly for Christ.
See you out on the trail,
Chris Reighley
