We are in exciting times for Evangelicalism. The world is changing. Church attendance seems to be dropping, our culture seems to be getting more secular, Web 2.0 and other media are connecting us like never before, and Post-modernism is giving us a run for our money!

In response to this we have: the emergent church, the missional church, the Church Plant Explosion, new monasticism, the Simple Way, and all kinds of other stuff.

There are several new thoughts and strategies (and books and CDs) about how to reach the lost in America. One strategy is to use Pop Culture to reach un-churched people and make the Gospel relevant to their lives. Of course you've heard of Tim Stevens' new book, Pop Goes the Church. While he has big fans of the book here and here, there is a critical voice here (that Tim Stevens graciously linked to and humbly wonders if there is a kernel of truth in what they're saying).

We will probably always debate about what strategy is best for advancing the Kingdom. Wouldn't it be great if there was one all-encompassing forum where we could debate with grace and love and the whole Church could be on the same page? Until then, what do you think of Tim's strategy? OR, what is your strategy?
