What is Counter Culture: Biblical Truth for a Confused World?
In a world fractured by politics, identity debates, justice movements, and spiritual confusion, where can we turn for clarity? Counter-Culture is a bold teaching series from Grace Church that dives into the most pressing—and controversial—issues of our day: sexuality and gender identity, climate change, immigration, AI ethics, and more. Whether you’re a committed Christian or just exploring faith, these episodes offer honest, thoughtful conversations grounded in Scripture—not soundbites. No clichés. No culture wars. Just biblical truth applied to today’s most complex questions. Join us in the weeks following Easter as we rediscover how ancient wisdom speaks to our modern moment—and why the way forward might begin by going back to God.
