Is Christianity Good For The Neighborhood with Dr. Sharon James
In a culture where Christianity is often dismissed as harmful or outdated, how can we respond with confidence, humility, and truth? In this thought-provoking episode, we’re joined by Dr. Sharon James—author, historian, and social policy analyst—to explore the incredible legacy of Christianity’s impact on the world. From human dignity to women’s rights, from education to healthcare, Sharon helps us trace how Christianity shaped society for good. We also unpack how we can live out that same “living Christianity” today in our own neighborhoods through grace, generosity, and faithfulness—especially when the Church’s witness is questioned. Whether you’re wrestling with big cultural critiques or looking for hope in small, everyday neighboring moments, this episode will leave you encouraged and grounded in the good story we have to tell.
