Viewpoint - The Bible and Culture

Culture is constantly changing. What was once a standard of behavior or morality can be quickly discarded as new points of view and policy takes their place. For Christians, the Bible provides a firm foundation, timeless in its principles but always capable of applying to the times in which we live. This podcast seeks to help us view the ever-changing challenges of culture through the lens of the Bible. Viewpoint is produced by Highlands Church in Scottsdale, Arizona and hosted by Joe Infranco and Brendan Anderson - two pastors who are passionate about the intersection of the gospel and culture.

    Pronouns, Paul and Preferences

    Should Christians use someone’s preferred pronouns? This is a question made complicated by our culture’s ever-changing ideas around identity. Joe and Brendan take a tour of the Bible as it relates to the concept of identity and how the Apostle Paul gives us a roadmap for entering into conversations with people who share a different view. Ultimately we’ll explore how we can best love the people around us like Jesus - with both grace and truth - pointing them always to the hope of the gospel.

    Sex Faith and Identity (with Garry and Melissa Ingraham)

    Where does our understanding of who we are come from? Our culture tries to convince us to base our identity in lots of things - our work, our family, our economic status, and even our sexual desires and orientation. But the Bible tells a different story about our identity and what God’s design says about our desires and feelings.

    Artificial Intelligence (with Elijah Low)

    As Christians, how should we think about AI?  Is it just another technology tool like Television or the Internet? Or is there something more to it that we need to be thinking about?  Is AI something we should be suspicious of, or should we embrace it? How about this - does AI present new opportunities to share the gospel with the world?
