Some of his clients include Rick Warren’s Saddleback Valley Community Church in California; Cincinnati Vineyard; Calvary Church of Charlotte, N.C.; and First Church of the Nazarene, Wichita, Kan.

Cultivating wisdom in a post-Christian culture

Harrison Lang

As American Christians in the 21st century, we have already fought many battles over political and cultural issues in the first quarter of this century. These battles have borne real fruit for the cause of Christ and the common good—whether the overturning of Roe v. Wade or the ongoing protection of religious liberty. Contrary to the doom some people have predicted, our nation has seen significant progress. That said, Christians must still engage the public square with confidence and discernment in Christ.
