On today's show Chong and Dan begin with thoughts on George Floyd's killing and its aftermath. We share our reflections on the importance of respecting this moment and how (not) to use social media. In the main part of the episode, we look at a framework for explaining society's posture towards Christianity: Positive World, Neutral World and Negative World. What do each of these mean, where are we today and how should Christians live in response?
