A multi-week course that lives at the intersection of our faith in Christ and the world we live in.

Participate at Peace Portal Church

Take Christianity + Culture live at Peace Portal Church on Tuesday evenings from February 4th to March 11th.

Run the Course Anywhere

Access all of the materials you need to run the course at your church, home or community group. Includes all 6 episodes, Companion Guide and promotional material sent to your inbox on January 6th.

What we’ll discuss

  • A Gospel Lens

    Learning to see the world through Christ, rather than Christ through the world.

  • Categories of Engagement

    Learn to discern when Jesus calls us to belong to culture, when we are called to distance ourselves, and how to becomes artisans of redemption. 

  • Identity

    How is our identity formed? Discuss where you have been formed by 'outward' sources; where you have looked 'inward'; and how God the Father invites you to look 'upward' to hear His voice.

  • Technology & AI:

    As tech further encroaches on every aspect of our being, we pause to consider the implications of our "cyborg reality". As heart-soul-mind-strength complexes designed for love, is our tech usage fostering relationships of love or diminishing them?

  • Reconciliation in Canada

    Reconciliation is a central aspect of the gospel. In Canada, our history of colonization of Canada's Indigenous people did not demonstrate this. How is the church invited to seek reconciliation by educating ourselves about our history and then being artisans of peace in our communities?

  • Integration

    The goal is that we live increasingly integrated lives; that no area of our lives would be untransformed by the life of Christ.
