- He challenges Christians to choose between passive onlookers or active liberators in responding.
Lead Cultural Change, Not Just Scolding
- Ortlund urges pastors to help create a cultural shift rather than merely scolding individuals.
- He calls leaders to reduce porn's social acceptability, similar to how society changed attitudes about smoking.
