Instead of primarily wondering “Where will I go when I die?”, in a secular, post-Christian culture, it is more likely to find people asking “Who am I while I am alive?”
For this reason, in this presentation I argue that faithful witness in our day must recover a Christologically grounded account of the imago Dei which proclaims salvation as the restoration of human identity, vocation, and destiny through participation in the self-giving life of God.
In a post-Christian culture, the question many are asking is: does it work? How would knowing and following Jesus make a meaningful difference in their everyday life? If your neighbour can't see how the gospel would tangibly impact their daily experience, they're not likely to give much thought to whether it's true.

Part of being a witness is learning to practice "double listening" so that we can contextualize the gospel for the particular person with whom we're sharing.
The ministry of Faithful Witness is made possible through a generous community of partners.
