Episode notes
Post Christian Culture Refines Faith
- Max Lucado says we've left the era where it's culturally advantageous to be Christian, and that's refining faith rather than weakening it.
- In a post-Christian culture Christians who remain are forced to work through moral questions and show steadfastness.
Chinese Believers' Costly Faith
- Max recounts a visit to China where believers treated him like royalty but had costly testimonies of sacrifice.
- Their willingness to lose comforts made their faith vibrantly authentic compared with Western ease.
Avoid Situations That Enable Temptation
- Reduce exposure to known temptations by proactively limiting access.
- Lucado avoids risky online content, monitors alcohol intake, never travels alone, and keeps meetings with women visible.
