## Resource

In this "Ask Us Anything" episode of Faith & Clarity , Dr. Mark Turman is joined by Dr. Jim Denison and Dr. Ryan Denison for a relaxed conversation on navigating cultural chaos with biblical truth. Jim and Ryan unpack meta-narratives and meta-crisis, including how a nation's "cultural DNA" shapes current events and why overlapping crises can heighten anxiety, offering prayer and redemptive engagement as a faithful response. The conversation explores whether a cultural "vibe shift" is increasing openness to hope and spirituality, addresses concerns about Sharia law and religious freedom in American civic life, and reviews worsening conditions in Cuba amid U.S. pressure and CIA activity, with practical ways to pray for and support Cuban believers. They also touch on the post-Dobbs abortion landscape and the debate over transgender athletes in women's sports, closing with some light personal reflections on summer.
