Webinar: Kingdom & Culture by Stronger Network

Stronger Network

Kingdom & Culture

This is a unique moment in the history of the UK Church.

We’re witnessing major cultural shifts, a rapid technological revolution, and endured a global pandemic that has enforced months of lockdown on the entire UK Population.

The Church finds itself at a cultural tipping point. This moment in time offers the people of God a challenge – will we lean into our true identity as salt and light, or will we allow the world to squeeze us into its mold?

Sit in on some sessions with prominent leaders who will help you reflect on the culture of God’s Kingdom and how it contrasts to prevailing culture. Hear practical lessons that can equip you for a courageous Christ-centred faith journey in a changing world.

Ben John

Ben leads development of the Wilberforce Academy, an initiative of Christian Concern – an organisation proclaiming the name of Jesus Christ in public life through law, media, and politics. The Wilberforce Academy is a network of emerging Christian leaders across different spheres of society (whether business, law, politics, the arts, medicine, media) who are seeking to be Christ-centred in all that they do, and see society transformed to the glory of God.
Ben joined Christian Concern in 2018 because of his passion to see young Christians equipped to engage with the current challenges facing the Church in the UK today. You can find out more information about the Wilberforce Academy at www.wilberforceacademy.org.uk
