Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul. Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.
— 1 Peter 2:11-12

By Culture MattersFrom The Village Church

Culture Matters is a podcast, produced by The Village Church in Texas, that explores the intersection of faith and culture. "Matters of culture should matter to us — because they matter to God," they write in the podcast introduction.

Prayer Requests
UNIVERSITY MINISTRIES
Please pray for the students involved in Christian Union as they wrap up their semesters. With finals already underway at many of the schools, pray for the students to continue to seek God first, to be a light to their peers on campus, and for the non-Christian students considering the Gospel — that they would continue to seek truth. Please pray for divine appointments for our ministry faculty as they wend their way toward Christmas.
CITY MINISTRIES
This past week has been a time of giving thanks with intentionality and in faith — knowing that we are to give thanks in all things. We rejoice that God continues to work in this remarkable city in myriad ways, some of which we are privileged to see first-hand. Lives are redeemed, relationships are restored, and the ways of the city are remade – all to reflect God’s glory and His intentions.
CHRISTIAN UNION DAY & NIGHT
Praise God for Day and Night’s first year motivating American Christians to seek God fervently. We reached nearly 40,000 people. Pray that our reach would multiply and that God will draw closer to us as tens of thousands draw closer to Him.
