They explore the distinction between safe spaces for growth and the dangers of unchecked ideological diversity, emphasizing the necessity of shared values and foundational truths. Amy shares her thoughts on the responsibility of Christians to engage in cultural conversations rather than retreating into silence, highlighting the role of the church in shaping society rather than being shaped by it.
