About this listen
What to do when they say they’re Christian but don’t know Jesus
Whether it’s the Christmas and Easter Christians or the faithful church attenders whose hearts are cold toward the Lord, we’ve all encountered cultural Christians. They’d check the Christian box on a survey, they’re fine with church, but the truth is, they’re far from God. So how do we bring Jesus to this overlooked mission field?

Story
From “living your best life” to “self-actualizing”, “finding your destiny”, and “waiting on the best to come”, the contemporary messages of the world exhort us to believe that we are promised and entitled the biggest and best life can possibly offer. But is that actually what Jesus promises? Is that even close to the message of the gospel?

Story
When a crisis hits, does doubt arise? Does uncertainty ever threaten your faith in God’s promises? Or do you sometimes wonder whether his promises can be trusted? Perhaps you know about God, but are you confident that you really know him? Without a Doubt is for anyone who wrestles with the certainty of their faith or if the promises of Christianity are true. Pastor Dean Inserra lays out what the Bible teaches about how to have saving faith in God. You’ll learn the clear truth about who a Christian is - and who a Christian is not.

Story
The Bible is explicit: We live in a world of distinct opponents; our very lives are a battle. Yet too many Christians lose more battles than they win and endure their walk with God rather than enjoy it because they don't recognize the enemy when they see it. More importantly, they have no idea how to respond. While society tells us we can react simply, the truth is that a wish, a hope, and a prayer are not the best responses to attacks from those who stand between us and the Father.

The Bible is clear that all believers are called to defend their faith. However, if apologetics is the formal process that we have come to expect, this sounds like an impossible task. But what if apologetics could be part of natural, normal conversation ― both from the pulpit and in everyday life?

We’ve all seen the memes that populate the internet: live your truth, follow your heart, you only have one life to live. They sound nice and positive. But what if these slogans are actually lies that unhinge us from reality and leave us anxious and exhausted? Another Gospel? author Alisa Childers invites you to examine modern lies that are disguised as truths in today’s culture. Everyday messages of peace, fulfillment, and empowerment swirl around social media. On the surface, they seem like sentiments of freedom and hope, but in reality, they are deeply deceptive.

Turning the other cheek does not mean standing by while the enemies of God dismantle Christian civilization and brainwash our children. Decrying the cowardice that masquerades as meekness, Eric Metaxas summons the Church to battle. An attenuated and unbiblical “faith” based on what Bonhoeffer called “cheap grace” has sapped the spiritual vitality of millions of Americans. Paying lip service to an insipid “evangelism,” they shrink from combating the evils of our time. Metaxas refutes the pernicious lie that fighting evil politicizes Christianity.

In light of the ten common rules of evidence that he’d used to solve crimes throughout his career, Wallace realized he could no longer deny the truth of Jesus Christ.

Story
Modern culture is increasingly outspoken against a biblical understanding of what it means to be a woman. Even some Christians, swayed by the LGBTQ+ movement, have rejected God’s word on issues of sexuality and gender in favor of popular opinion. In light of these pressures, it’s more important than ever to help women see the truth about who God created them to be. In this powerful book, Rosaria Butterfield uses Scripture to confront 5 common lies about sexuality, faith, feminism, gender roles, and modesty often promoted in our secular culture today.

Story
Millions are satisfied to sit through hour-long, weekly religious services. Millions more have left the church, brokenhearted and cynical. But God is waking up his people - people who will risk everything and sacrifice anything to become the dynamic, powerful church seen in Scripture. We Are Church calls Christ-followers, young and old, to hold fast to their biblical roots while seeking radical change. Scripture promises an exuberant and unstoppable church. That wondrous early church of acts can be our reality today.

The Pursuit of God is a deeply spiritual book that focuses on forming a relationship with God through Christianity.

Although putting God first can be difficult, Tozer asserts that doing so will effectively bring God into one's life.

It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily...BUT WHO DO YOU KNOW WHO LIVES LIKE THAT? DO YOU?

This short theologically sound primer is a resource for pastors, ministry leaders, community leaders, and other thinking Christians that explains carefully and clearly what critical race theory and wokeness truly are, what the Bible teaches about race and ethnicity, why wokeness is distinct from Christianity and should be rejected, and how the church can work for unity based in the gospel of grace.

How do Christians grow? Few question the call of the Bible to grow in godliness, but the answer to exactly how this happens is often elusive. In this audiobook, Dane Ortlund points believers to Christ, making the case that sanctification does not happen by doing more or becoming better, but by going deeper into the wondrous gospel truths that washed over them when they were first united to him.

This book is exceptional at clarifying true believers!
This book lives up to its title. What a learning experience with so many clarifying illustrations of the different types of Cultural Christians there are today. I will be able to use this as a reference manual in talking with the Cultural Christians I come in contact on a daily basis. The narrator was easy to listen to and interesting. Thanks

Me. Me. Me! That was me! I thought I was a Christian...
Because I was raised in a Christian home was baptized and went to church. I was an unsaved Christian. Now I am one of those who are guilty of bringing Jesus into conversations with family and friends and everything getting really awkward. I appreciate the clarity of the author and the respect and love he shows for those who think they are good with God but may be mistaken. Insightful questions at the end of each chapter; an accurate use of Scripture; super easy to listen to on audible. This is a must read for every professing believer.

The story of so many...
I absolutely love this book! I recommend this to any Christian that is trying to reach a person who claims to be a Christian when they are clearly not saved. The author offers some very practical tips on how to minister to what is probably the largest mission field in the United States. listening to this book you will realize just how watered down the Gospel of Jesus Christ has become in America. listening to some of the examples of cultural Christianity that the author gives actually made me quite angry because it is nothing more than a mockery of the true gospel and Jesus Christ. And I also have in the past reached out to many cultural Christians that gives a similar reaction as the author describes where they dig their heels in, insist that they are fine, and that you're just more religious than they are. as the author says, only through patient, loving, and compassionate ministering and witnessing to a cultural Christian will be effective. there really is no magic formula. it's simply a matter of sharing from the Bible what the Bible actually says about salvation and evidence of saving faith and modeling the gospel by your words, attitudes, and behavior. as this book stresses, we must come from a place of humility when witnessing the cultural Christians. this book will greatly increase your understanding of this dilemma of christless Christianity and help you to be more effective in your efforts to win "unsaved Christians" to Christ.

A must read for every follower of Christ
This book successfully details the rampant issue of Cultural Christianity in our society. It provides solutions for church members and leaders so that they can have a positive impact on their church. Most importantly it provides starting points for fruitful conversation with cultural Christians so that we can be the light we are called to be to the unsaved Christians around us.

Pretty good!
Great book. I loved the organization. I think the audience is directed more toward a lay person. Seminarians may find some of the info interesting and informative, but for the most part you likely already knew most of it. I've purchased more meaningful pieces with my credit, but I really think it's because of my foreknowledge. Had I not had my life experiences, I'd prolly love the book. Narraration was clear and concise. Enjoyed it.
