A Compelling Faith in a Compromising Culture

"When our faith is challenged, the best response isn’t to fall back. It’s to go deeper. We’re living in a cultural storm. Perhaps you feel it. Postmodern philosophy and secular ideologies have trickled from academia to the broader culture, eroding belief in basic Christian doctrines. Christian teachings on family and sexuality, once respected by the wider culture, are now considered suspect or even dangerous. Increasingly, the Western world finds the church unnecessary, offensive, and irrelevant. Many Christians feel disoriented and discouraged. A Compelling Faith in a Compromising Culture invites and shows us how to remain steadfast and faithful in this unique and challenging time in history. Pastor and professor Mike Tatlock explores how every aspect of our lives—our identity, appetites, behavior, and the way we relate to God and each other—must be rooted in God’s purposes. Readers reflect on topics like engaging the world without being scared, discernment over deception, contending for the faith without damaging our faith, feasting on the goodness of God, spiritual resilience, flourishing, and more. Can we live in such a way that our faith is compelling and not compromising, complacent, or combatant? We can be tempted to despair or hide, to revile instead of reveal. This book offers another option. To live a compelling faith and to offer a compelling faith. Get a glimpse of your purpose in God’s cosmic plan, redeem the time, and joyfully serve Him regardless of what is transpiring in our world. The storm is only going to grow stronger. It’s time to send our roots down deep. Tatlock shows us how to cultivate A Compelling Faith in a Compromising Culture."

Faith in Real Life: Creating Community in the Park, Coffee Shop, and Living Room

"An effective new voice in the contemporary church movement shares important lessons from his failures and successes in building a community that reaches out with maximum impact within an emerging culture. Over the past decade Mike Tatlock has been on a journey to examine the life of Jesus with a view to developing a church that truly makes a difference. His hard-won lessons have shaped a ministry philosophy that is connecting people in community to engage the world around them—from the living room to the coffee shop and beyond. His clear strategy intentionally connects people and provokes them to be about something bigger than themselves. It generates momentum in a culture where people long to be part of a cause that is bigger than being a member of a church. And it creates a network of lives bonded together through authentic relationships.Faith in Real Life is not a collection of theoretical how-tos but an inspiring flight of discovery designed to help church leaders and their members take the risk to live fully, effectively, and engagingly as the body of Christ in this world."
