32m
In this episode of Christianly, Tony Wood, Teaching Pastor of Mission Bible Church Costa Mesa, and Dean Defuria, Executive Pastor of Mission Bible, explore what it truly means to live out the Great Commission today. They discuss the challenge of following Christ in a culture that’s increasingly disconnected from its Christian roots, using Francis Schaeffer's "upper story vs. lower story" framework to show how theology impacts every part of life—from society to personal relationships.
The conversation covers historical and current issues like Roe v. Wade, postmodernism, and cultural drift, while examining the power of faithful Christian living. Is America still shaped by Christian values? How should believers engage with culture while staying true to the gospel? And what role does the church have in influencing society, even when it faces resistance?
If you’ve ever wondered how to apply your faith to daily life, this episode will equip and encourage you to live out your beliefs with clarity and purpose.
