Christians today face a divided culture that often sees faith as the problem—not the solution. How do we live faithfully in this “negative world” without being consumed by culture wars?

In this episode, host Michael Foust talks with Pastor JD Greear, author of Everyday Revolutionary: How to Transcend the Culture War and Transform the World (Zondervan, Oct. 7 release). Greear unpacks how the example of Daniel, Jesus, and the early church helps believers engage with boldness and grace—even when the world is hostile.
