What happens when Christians retreat from culture?

Jeff Durbin and Joe Boot discuss the Kingdom of God, the Lordship of Christ, and why the Christian faith has implications for every area of life, including politics, family, education, and public culture.

What can Christians today learn from the Puritans?

From recovering the gospel to pursuing holiness, caring for the church, raising faithful families, and bringing the lordship of Christ into every area of life, the Puritans offer a rich legacy for the modern church.
