We live in a time of deep cultural division. It is political: progressive vs. conservative. It is economic: socialism vs. capitalism. It runs through fundamental issues like abortion: pro-choice vs. pro-life. It runs through demographically, class, and education: Urban, highly educated elites vs. rural, blue-collar “deplorables.” Ultimately, it is rooted in deep worldview beliefs: Objective truth vs. man-created “truth,” spin, and narrative creation. Creation vs. naturalistic evolution. Judeo-Christian theism vs. “woke” cultural Marxism. This divide is challenging and uncomfortable for many Christians, who want to be viewed as peacemakers and not angry culture warriors. Increasingly, they speak in terms of “not this, or that” but “a third way.” Today, we explore the growing trend of “third-wayism.” Is it helpful, or does it lead us astray?
