Articles referring to the modern Western culture

"Sticky" arguments

Some revisionist theologians’ arguments have sticking power because they resonate with our cultural norms. Put another way, they are persuasive because they draw on modern Western values and assumptions.

Jesus loves outsiders

Jesus' heart is for the marginalised in our society

How can TFT become more diverse?

As Christians, God calls us to reach out to people all over the world and to make Jesus known.

I was a male ballet dancer

But I’d also heard about Jesus in a way I’d never heard before, a Jesus who wasn’t just a fable with the goal of making me a better person, but Jesus who was God among us

Is TFT helping or harming?

Some people have suggested that TFT is harmful, homophobic, coerces people or operates from a place of fear. Such concerns are important to reflect upon.

Finding Acceptance

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). As a young child, I sang this well-known scripture verse along with a cassette tape of Bible songs. My mom interrupted me, saying, “You shouldn’t sing that! It’s too negative.” That moment encapsulates how my family, and even my church, felt about sin. It was something we didn’t talk about, or even think about, and certainly not something we ever did.
