In Gabe Lyon’s book, The Next Christians, he says, “It’s our job to be faithful to respond to the brokenness of culture with an eye for the Creator’s original intent.” However, contrary to popular belief, this culture creation happens from the bottom up, not the top down. Jesus said the Kingdom grows like a mustard seed into a large tree. It doesn’t say that we just get to plant the full-grown tree.
