Michael Lindsay and Andy Crouch will address the topic of power and privilege, exploring the challenges and opportunities of cultural power. What do we do when Christians possess power and privilege? How do we accurately assess the difference between Christans represented as a beleaguered minority vs. a group hell-bent on overtaking society? Andy and Michael will be joined by the music and testimony of Sara Groves.
