Gabe Lyons is the author of The Next Christians and the founder of Q. Here is some of what he shared at Catalyst:
We must understand the context into which we are called. The cultural landscape is post-modern (there is skepticism toward certainty); post-Christian (a decline of Judeo-Christian thought) and pluralistic (all faiths are welcomed in society).
There are three approaches for Christians to interact with culture:
Separatist- having nothing to do with modern culture
Cultural- attempt to blend in without regard to the Gospel
Restorer- to focus on creation/fall/redemption/restoration
Don't just critique but create.
Don't just state the Good News, embody the Good News.
Christian mentors must help young adults learn to "be" Christian- "as you go make disciples".
