I just got done reading two great posts from Jon Acuff on redeeming culture and the such. I think it may have even sparked some forthcoming posts of my own. First he wrote “Things I Shouldn’t Know Exist” , commenting on things in culture that we often hide from other Christians because of the shame they might bring if we admit to liking them. His personal touch of starting with a tweet that he decided not to send put a very humble perspective on such a touchy subject. I really enjoy how he sticks to his guns though, that there are some things Christians should not engage with. In response to that post he was asked the question, “how else we supposed to redeem culture (if we don’t engage with it)?”, which led to the post “Redeeming Culture”, where he hits the nail on the head saying that often our attempt and vocalization of redeeming culture is actually justification for our actions.

John offers some humble advice but leaves it with a question still, “how do we as Christians redeem culture?”.
