Are we stuck with a foot in each camp? We all belong to a culture; it dictates everything from the shows we watch to the language we use to the food we eat. Culture shapes the way we react and interact. It affects so much of our lives, and yet we are rarely aware of it. If we are not careful, it can push us away from God's good desires for who we are and how we live in our world. Walt Mueller offers readers a practical guide to living in and engaging with culture, while living for God. His contribution to the Track series goes beyond simply identifying cultural trends; "Navigating Culture" empowers students to discern between healthy and harmful influences, to stand firm in their beliefs while respecting others, and to actively contribute to positive change in their communities. With practical advice on topics such as media consumption, peer relationships, and civic engagement, this guide serves as a trusted companion for students seeking to navigate the complexities of contemporary culture with wisdom and grace. Unafraid to cover some of the big issues where there is a stark difference between biblical truth, and the way our friends might see things, Mueller helps young people discern the difference between what God teaches in his Word and what culture conditions us to believe. This short, helpful book encourages young adults to open their eyes to the assumed norms and think about what it means to live in the culture but to follow God's ways rather than the ways of the world.
