Many media messages challenge our claim that Jesus is Lord, but asking key questions about media is an extremely effective way of provoking interest in that claim.

listening to the word
![Page 32: CT2010: Dialogue session 1 - Popular Culture as a Global Missiological Challenge](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051816/5462ebdfb4af9f5d1c8b4a18/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
listening to the world
![Page 33: CT2010: Dialogue session 1 - Popular Culture as a Global Missiological Challenge](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051816/5462ebdfb4af9f5d1c8b4a18/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
How can we develop a Christian mind, which is both shaped by the truths of historic, biblical Christianity, and acquainted with the realities of the contemporary world? How can we relate the Word to the world, understanding the world in the light of the Word, and even understanding the Word in the light of the world? . . .
![Page 34: CT2010: Dialogue session 1 - Popular Culture as a Global Missiological Challenge](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051816/5462ebdfb4af9f5d1c8b4a18/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
We have to begin with a double refusal. We refuse to become either so absorbed in the Word, that we escape into it and fail to let it confront the world, or so absorbed in the world, that we conform to it and fail to subject it to the judgement of the Word. Escapism and conformity are opposite mistakes, but neither is a Christian option.
![Page 35: CT2010: Dialogue session 1 - Popular Culture as a Global Missiological Challenge](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051816/5462ebdfb4af9f5d1c8b4a18/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
In place of this double refusal we are called to double listening, listening both to the Word and to the world. . . . We listen to the Word with humble reverence, anxious to understand it, and resolved to believe and obey what we come to understand.
![Page 36: CT2010: Dialogue session 1 - Popular Culture as a Global Missiological Challenge](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051816/5462ebdfb4af9f5d1c8b4a18/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
We listen to the world with critical alertness, anxious to understand it too, and resolved not necessarily to believe and obey it, but to sympathise with it and to seek grace to discover how the gospel relates to it. . . .
![Page 37: CT2010: Dialogue session 1 - Popular Culture as a Global Missiological Challenge](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051816/5462ebdfb4af9f5d1c8b4a18/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
'Double listening', however, contains no element of self-contradiction. . . . These voices will often contradict one another, but our purpose in listening to them both is to discover how they relate to each other. Double listening is indispensable to Christian discipleship and Christian mission.
John StottThe Contemporary Christian, pp. 27–29

No single piece of our mental world is to be hermetically sealed off from the rest, and there is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry: ‘Mine!’–Abraham Kuyper

From now on, to be holy means to cross boundaries, to connect with others and to welcome the very people who had previously been ‘outside the door’. In the eyes of Jesus of Nazareth, the greatest sin is not to be connected to those whom the Father loves, on whose misery he has compassion, and to whom he wants to grant access to his presence.

The way to deal with the challenge of the media is to be better at understanding it than anyone else, and to be able to relate it God’s word.
