This week on Listening In, the second part of my conversation with the Rev. Dr. Anthony Steinbronn, who with his family spent a number of years in Africa as missionaries.

This week, the conversation centers around his family’s cultural learnings during their time in Africa, and the readjustment that was necessary when they returned to the States. It was a big adjustment for all of them– especially the kids. One of the most disconcerting things? The amazing number of choices we have, in stores, on television, and on the radio.

Tony talks about how he’s grateful that his kids, because of their time in Africa, were and are able to examine the things of this culture with a more critical eye than most. They can take the good from the cultures of Africa and the culture of the States, and leave the bad.

I really had a great time talking with Tony. This is the second of three shows– there was just too much good stuff to squeeze into only two. Listen in, and let me know what you think.

What are some of the challenges you face, living as a follower of Jesus within the culture that surrounds you?  What are some of the ways that your faith in Jesus Christ helps you think critically about the things that this culture holds up as the highest good?
