The Shock Absorber

Tim returns with Joel and Stu to examine the late nineties and early-2000s. The speed of change within culture continued to speed up and the challenge, as always was for the church to keep up. They look at different reactions to those changes including the immersive evangelical counter-culture, Christian schools, the ministries of Rick Warren and Bill Hybels and the shift towards a different version of political engagement.
