When cultural tragedies or controversies erupt, pastors face an impossible tension: stay silent and risk appearing indifferent, or speak quickly and risk causing harm. When the Culture Trembles equips pastors with a steady, biblical path forward.
This practical guide walks through eleven key principles for addressing cultural moments from the pulpit or online. You’ll learn how to pause before reacting, craft words with care, honor human dignity, shepherd a diverse flock, and point people toward Scripture, prayer, and unity. Each chapter ends with a guiding question to help you check your heart before you speak.
Written with both courage and compassion in mind, this book is designed as a field guide for pastors who want to shepherd wisely when the world feels chaotic. Whether the headlines bring grief, outrage, or division, When the Culture Trembles will help you find words that steady your congregation and point them to Christ.
