How Do We Communicate the Heart of Christianity
in a World That’s Lost its Mind?

Our approach to apologetics needs to change when the very
idea of “truth” is controversial. But as authors Mike and Daniel
Blackaby teach us, we can still reach people if we understand
what they value most.

This practical guide to our current landscape explores five effective
communication pathways:

• Story–As people wired for narrative, we can speak through the
stories we live and tell.
• Beauty–In an increasingly industrialized world, we can
point people to “pockets of beauty” that reveal the
attractiveness of God.
• Art–In a society that celebrates the arts, we can cultivate
creativity in the church, then send artists out as cultural
missionaries.
• Desire–To a people motivated by love, identity, and purpose,
we can show how Jesus is the perfect fulfillment of our deepest
longings.
• Community–As relational creatures where connectivity is
disappearing, we can offer a community of unified diversity.

Culture may be in flux, but God’s Word remains true. Straight to the
Heart helps us speak to the passions that drive our culture without
compromising the life-changing truth of the gospel.
