As a new Christian I was, and continue to be, greatly concerned with the church’s engagement of culture.  As we all forge forward in hopes of serving our Lord, I sense a deep need for our ministries and messages to be biblical and relational.  The constant integration of these two factors is at the heart of New Wine, New Wineskins. Though my generation loves to undo what my parents’ generation did, I long for a theology, faith, and life that is not reactionary, but rather responsive to God’s love.  With balanced, biblical teachings New Wine drew me in, as I sensed the community and its theology was what I knew instinctively to be true of God, yet had not seen tangibly.
