In this episode, we talk with Toby Sumpter, pastor at King's Cross Church in Moscow, Idaho, and co-host of the CrossPolitic show and podcast. Toby discusses his background, including his roles in ministry, education, and family, and then delves into Aaron Renn's concept of the 'negative world.' He shares his agreement with the assessment but adds complexities in the current cultural landscape, highlighting the shifting Overton window and influence of figures like Trump and Elon Musk. Toby then discusses how Christians arrived in the negative world, attributing it to divine providence and cultural disobedience. He proposes strategies for Christians to build resilient, anti-fragile communities by focusing on holiness, obedience, and courage. The conversation also touches on the importance of confronting sin within oneself and the church, aiming to glorify God above all. Toby emphasizes the need for truthful, courageous living and community building to prepare for future cultural challenges.
