Today at 12:30pm I am giving a lecture at the Family Research Council on \u201cThe Sacrificial Witness of the Christian Moral Tradition.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0 In the Family Policy Lecture, I\u2019ll cover such disparate threads as Augustine, Blandina, Rachel Held Evans, Jonathan Franzen, and much more. \u00a0Here\u2019s the info about the event, which you can live-stream should you be so moved:<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s world Christianity is often seen as a religious relic of the past. Dr. Owen Strachan issues a clarion call to the next generation of Christians to realize the times demand a strong biblically-grounded, moral witness. Born out of a spirit of sacrifice and humility Christians, must speak out for godliness and righteousness in our public sphere. Dr. Strachan will explain what must be done if the great Christian witness of the past is to once again influence our culture and its government.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Register for the live-stream here.<\/a> \u00a0In the latter part of the lecture, I\u2019m going to talk about \u201cthe new Christian conservatism.\u201d \u00a0This is a movement I see brewing, contra the media\u2019s self-fulfilling narrative about young evangelicals distancing themselves from issues of great cultural import\u2013abortion, marriage, religious liberty.<\/p>\n

There is in actual fact a great deal of momentum among young Christians, and I\u2019m personally eager to see it bloom.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
