Synopsis

Whether it's TV boxsets, Instagram stories, or historical novels, we all consume culture. So it's important that we are neither bewitched by it—buying into everything it tells us—or bewildered by it—lashing out in judgement or retreating into a Christian bubble.

Dan Strange encourages Christians to engage with everything they watch, to read and play in a positive and discerning way. He also teaches Christians how to think and speak about culture in a way that plugs in to a bigger and better reality—the story of King Jesus, and his cosmic plan for the world.

It's possible to watch TV and read novels and play video games in a way that actually feeds our faith, rather than withers it. It's even possible for you—yes, you—to be that person who starts off talking to a mate about last night's football and ends up talking about Jesus.
