Culture Shocked l Week 3: Win PEOPLE, not ARGUMENTS l Jacob Dickerson

The culture is loud.

But Jesus is still clear.

In a world of outrage, hot takes, comment sections, political tension, and constant debate… the question isn’t will you engage culture?

The question is how you’ll engage it.

In Part 3 of our 4-week series Culture Shocked, Pastor Jacob walks through a powerful moment in the book of Daniel that shows us a better way:

Win PEOPLE — not arguments.

When King Nebuchadnezzar was anxious and demanding answers, Daniel had an opportunity to prove he was right… to embarrass the king… to flex spiritually.

Instead, he solved a problem.

He added value.

He pointed to God.

Daniel shows us that influence grows when you help people — and shrinks when you just try to win debates.

This message will challenge you to examine how you respond when culture pushes back… and call you to live with conviction and compassion.

This series isn’t about compromising truth.

It’s about carrying truth in a way that wins hearts.

If you’ve ever struggled with speaking up without becoming harsh…

standing firm without becoming arrogant…

or loving people who disagree with you…

This message is for you.
