Episode 29: The Unknown God – Engaging Culture Without Compromising Truth
In this episode of Growing in Grace, Matt and Pastor Brandon explore Paul's bold encounter with the people of Athens in Acts 17:16–34. Surrounded by idols and spiritual confusion, Paul steps into the cultural heart of the city—not with condemnation, but with compassion and clarity.
They discuss how modern believers can follow Paul's example by engaging a skeptical world thoughtfully, recognizing the "unknown gods" of our time—from comfort and politics to status and control. The conversation also tackles how to navigate spiritual curiosity, speak truth in love, and share the gospel in a way that's both bold and gracious.
Whether you're discouraged by culture, unsure how to start gospel conversations, or wrestling with hidden idols in your own life, this episode will challenge you to see your neighborhood, workplace, and relationships as a mission field—and to respond with truth, love, and urgency.
Tune in and be equipped to meet people where they are and point them to the One true God.
