Jesus Warned the World Would Hate Christians
“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you” (John 15:18).
As cultural hostility toward Christianity intensifies, many Christians have grown more reluctant to advocate for biblical values in the public square. But our perseverance for the common good—a good defined by God alone—is more important than ever in a culture that embraces darkness.
When Culture Hates You is a call for Christians to unashamedly pursue righteousness in society out of our love for others. In this timely resource, author Natasha Crain will help you
- make sense of cultural hostility by better understanding the roots of secular outrage on issues like Christian nationalism, social justice, abortion, transgenderism, and sexuality
- advocate for the godly functioning of society with greater biblical, cultural, and civic understanding
- take concrete action for the common good with more than 35 practical ideas to get you started
As Christians, our calling is to speak truth in the face of hostility. Not because we want to “war” with culture but because we love both God and others.

I pray this book will help equip and encourage the body of Christ to be the light we are called to be! If you read the book and find it valuable, please help get the word out (for example, write an Amazon review, share with your friends, share on social media, lead a book study at your church, or anything else you might think of!). I truly appreciate any help in sharing.
Happy reading, everyone!
