Equipping You in Grace – Biblical Discernment vs. Cultural Conformity
Date: September 22, 2025
Series: Worldview Watch, Discerning the Lies Shaping Our Culture
Host: Dave Jenkins
Show Summary
Today we look at the tension every Christian feels between biblical discernment and cultural conformity.
Discernment is the God-given ability to distinguish truth from error and to act on it, while conformity
quietly presses us into the world’s mold. Drawing from Hebrews 5:14 and Romans 12:2, Dave explains how
discernment grows with maturity and practice, how conformity creeps into the church, and how to stand
firm in a shifting world.
