At the Following Christ conference, we gather people active in the powerful institutions of the world — academia, business, government, the media, medicine, the courts — in order to challenge and encourage one another in living as Christ’s followers in the world. It’s all too easy to lapse into either over-confidence or cynicism about the role our institutions (and we ourselves) play in shaping culture. It’s wise instead to consider how we will be shaped and how we will seek God’s redeeming influence in the world. What discourses set the terms of our questions? Whose word and way will we follow? It matters how we know and praise God and how we serve him with our days — for us individually, for the quality and direction of our culture, and for the peace and well-being of the world.
