Right and left. Traditional and progressive. Old and young. Rural and urban.

In these turbulent times, our public square is fragmenting, as a number of different worldviews and ideologies jostle for top spot. And as secularism takes hold, Christianity doesn’t have the cultural authority it once did – indeed, faith perspectives are often ignored, maligned, or misunderstood.

But this isn’t just happening on a national scale. Debates and divisions manifest themselves in our workplaces, neighbourhoods, and families. In this challenging context, it’s tempting to either withdraw into Christian bubbles, conform to the world around us, or simply engage along battle lines.

Yet it’s in these places that Christ has called us to live as salt and light, bringing out the God-flavours and God-colours of the world.

So, how might we live distinctly, whilst partnering with those around us – however different their views may be – to pursue the common good? How might we live as a creative minority, to ‘seek the peace and prosperity’ of the places God has put us (Jeremiah 29:7)? How can we use our influence to join in with God’s redemptive work?

Though this Wisdom Lab, we’ve hosted a conversation to wrestle with these questions in community. On the night, through four short TED-style talks, we listened to the world, the Word of God, and one another, considering how the Spirit might be calling us to live.

Now, through the video and discussion guide, you can join us to discover your role in seeing your frontlines flourish, for the good of all and to the glory of God.
