Building for Cultural Reformation with Dr. John West

Is American culture in a death spiral? If so, what can the church do about it? Increasingly, the institutions we depend on for vibrant communities—churches, families, schools, businesses, and the media—appear to be failing. Less than two in ten Americans have a “great deal” of confidence in the church, public schools, banks,
newspapers, the medical system, or the criminal justice system. More than 80% of Americans think the moral state of the nation is getting worse. We are told by some we live in a “negative world” where Christianity itself is now viewed as a threat rather than a help. In this situation, how can Christians respond constructively? Join Dr. John West as he draws on lessons from America’s past to explore how churches and Christians today
can play a positive role in reforming our culture.
