Why Secularism can’t give us a purpose, Contraceptives, Christian Plumbers, Social Justice - Ask Us Anything

Today Matt and Nathaniel address a variety of issues relating to the cultural mandate (Gen 1:26-31).

1. Why we need a purpose to be given to us (because our internal sources are unreliable); by someone powerful (it needs to matter) and all loving (it needs to be doable and for the flourishing); it needs to account for the way things are (goodness of the created order & fallenness); it needs to have a a deep perspective of evils and an ultimate hope. The Bible gives us this, secularism can't. 

2. For those who are able to, is it okay to not want to have kids?

3. Are contraceptives wrong?

4. How would our lives look differently if we lived in light of the cultural mandate?

5. Why are churches and Christians in America so up in arms about (for and against) social justice? How does the cultural mandate shed light on this topic?
