description: Uncertain. Confused. Overwhelmed.Many Christians feel bombarded by the messages they hear and the trends they see in our rapidly changing world.How can we resist being conformed to the pattern of this world? What will faithfulness to Christ look like in these tumultuous times? How can we be true to the gospel in a world where myths and false visions of the world so often prevail?In This is Our Time Trevin Wax provides snapshots of twenty-first-century American Life in order to help Christians understand the times. By analyzing our common beliefs and practices (smartphone habits entertainment intake and our views of shopping sex marriage politics and lifes purpose) Trevin helps us see through the myths of society to the hope of the gospel.As faithful witnesses to Christ Trevin writes we must identify the longing behind societys most cherished myths (what is good true beautiful) expose the lie at the heart of these myths (what is false and damaging) and show how the gospel tells a better story  one that exposes the lie but satisfies the deeper longing.
