About this listen
How to live confidently for Jesus in a culture that sees Christians as the bad guys.
The church used to be recognised as a force for good, but this is changing rapidly. Christians are now often seen as the bad guys, losing both respect and influence.
In our post-Christian culture, how do we offer the gospel to those around us who view it as not only wrong but possibly dangerous? And how do we ensure that the secular worldview does not entice us away with its constant barrage, online and elsewhere, of messages about self-determinism?
Author Stephen McAlpine offers an analysis of how our culture ended up this way and explains key points of tension between biblical Christianity and secular culture. He encourages Christians not to be ashamed of the gospel as it is more liberating, fulfilling, and joyful than anything the world has to offer. He also offers strategies for coping in this world, with its opposing values, and for reaching out to others wisely with the truth.

Being the best bad guy you can be
This audio book is a very easy listen thanks to the writing of Steve, with clear insights into our culture and some good guidance on being a Christian in a culture that is more and more seeing us as the bad guys.

Some excellent actions
Although I wouldn't agree with all he says, McAlpine makes some excellent points about how we are to live today as an alternative community.

What to do when the world's falling apart
When everything is falling apart and the world says that we are wrong for having life bringing freedom morals. what do we do.
keep on, be an example. be prepared to change jobs. but don't falter.
the piece of the Holy spirit about the things of God is our comfort.
helpful "book" to consider our position.
not give up, but set the example, be inviting, speak the truth when asked.
but let. them know these are standards for Christians. we don't expect it of them.

Great Read
Very practical and not patronising. Real application points and loads to think about, if not for the first time, but helpful reminders of living for the gospel.

Great book for either new Christian’s or long time ones
I was converted in January 2023 after a huge experience. Since that moment I’ve been almost every waking hour immersed in theology, teachings on Jesus and the Bible. I feel, after talking to mature Christians and new Christian’s who don’t know how or where to start, that this book would suit them, specially if they do not know much about what happening in the world. Overall it was a good book. Talks on important concepts that not everyone knows about and are important to speak on.

Very helpful for keeping the culture wars in perspective
Very helpful for keeping the culture wars in perspective. Highly recommended for Christian's who want to be salt and life to their neighbours and community.

Encouraging!
Refreshing explanation of what has happened in our world over the last few decades. I love the clear sociological understanding combined with biblical scripture. When we listen to this book, why are we surprised by the day we live? So refreshing to hear strategies that bring hope and joy in spite of what the world says we shouldn’t have. Thank you.
