Who am I? How do I determine right from wrong? How can I find meaning and fulfillment in life? God's scripture helps us answer these questions, but so does the culture we are part of. The challenge for a disciple is to be shaped by God's truth rather than culture's trends.

• Why Moralism Misses God

• Can We Find Meaning by Looking Within?

• A Compromised Gospel

• Disordered Desires: Sexuality and Identity

• Deprogramming Cultural Lies



Resources Mentioned

• Holy Sexuality and the Gospel by Christopher Yuan

• Why You Think the Way You Do by Glenn Sunshine
