This document provides an overview of a talk on influencing culture from a Christian worldview. It discusses that Christians are called by God to shape culture, but that the church has at times lost influence by failing to equip believers to see their work and callings as ministry. It highlights challenges facing America's moral and spiritual foundations and provides examples throughout history of how engaged Christians influenced culture for good through acts like prayer, networking, addressing problems, and pursuing a strategy of engaging all sectors of society.

30. "Drag Queen Story Hour"
is now part of elementary schools and public libraries, where men

children. This, according to their own website, “captures the
imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood and gives
kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models.”

37. Is it too late for America?
God said if there were
10 righteous in Sodom
& Gomorrah he would
spare it.

38. Some leaders today
seem to have
literally
“lost their minds.”
The Bible explains why

39. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of
the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with
men committing what is shameful, and receiving in
themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
And even as they did not like to retain God
in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind
Debased Mind

40. Debased Mind
to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all
unrighteousness, sexual immorality,
wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife,
deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God,
violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to
parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, Romans 1:27-32

41. Debased Mind
unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God,
that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do
the same but also approve of those who practice them.
Romans 1:27-32

51. A Giant that is Sleeping
• 100 million born again Christians in America

– Many liberals don’t like each other, but
they are willing to work together for their
collective cause, while Christians on the
opposite side like each other but refuse to
work together.

discipled the nation.” – Lance Wallnau

prejudices held by those who oppose us.
