  RLR Interview with Joshua Arnold: Christianity Is Normal

  Jul 27, 202627 min

  This week on Respect Life Radio, Deacon Geoff Bennett is joined by Joshua Arnold, a senior writer at The Washington Stand, to discuss his recent article, Christianity Is Normal. In a culture that increasingly treats Christian beliefs as strange or out of step, Arnold explores the reality that Christianity is not something new or abnormal but has been a foundational part of human history and culture for centuries. He encourages Christians to resist the temptation to feel ashamed or defensive about their faith and instead to confidently live out the truth of the Gospel. Deacon Geoff and Arnold discuss what it means for Christians to recognize the goodness and normalcy of a life rooted in faith, family and the dignity of every human person. They explore how Christians can respond to a culture that seeks to marginalize biblical beliefs while remaining grounded in the truth and hopeful in their witness. Through their conversation, listeners are encouraged to remember that following Christ is not something to apologize for but a joyful calling that can transform individuals, families and society.
