In modern Western culture, Christianity is often seen as anything but good, true, and beautiful. The Bible’s teaching when it comes to sexuality and gender can lead people to think Christianity is actively immoral and harmful. Bible passages about warfare, women’s roles, and eternal punishment can also raise skepticism about Christianity’s goodness.
In this session, recorded at TGCW26, Rachel Gilson, Mary Hannah, and Rebecca McLaughlin talk about how to help your nonbelieving friends and neighbors see the beauty, truth, and goodness of our Savior.
