Leveraging Culture

Pop Goes the Church: Should the Church Engage Pop Culture?

I'm reading through Tim Stevens new book, Pop Goes The Church, and I came across this phrase:

"It is about building churches that focus more on preparing followers to live in culture and leverage the culture rather than criticizing and building walls of protection around our commune-like congregations."

My mind is racing with a single thought: churches around the country are doing a terrific job leveraging culture to reach people, but are we training people how to do the same? It's the know-how of taking the hottest songs, movies, television shows, or whatever, and connecting the dots from one soul to God.

How do we accomplish this? I'd like to start the conversation here...so if you have a thought, leave a comment...
