Theology—in order to be biblical theology—must be a living force. New Wine, New Wineskins introduces men and women to real theology by applying it to 21st century culture and to issues Christians often avoid. A drink from a New Wine event will create a thirst for contextualized theology.

As the culture of the church becomes increasingly foreign and, thus, unable to communicate to my community, New Wine, New Wineskins has emerged as a place where I’ve been greatly helped in better communicating the gospel in ways that make sense to my colleagues as well as to my next door neighbors. One of New Wine, New Wineskins’ great strengths is its emphasis on the contextualized integration of our faith and practice in our workplaces and neighborhoods—which is the responsibility of Jesus’ followers faced with the dire needs of the day in our dying communities.

The Lord is using New Wine, New Wineskins in a powerful way to call his people to a more holistic, outwardly focused, Christ-like lifestyle. Their emphasis on engaging society in a loving and contextual manner has already been effective in moving many believers out of the four walls of the church and into redemptive relationships with people who would never darken the doorstep of a church building. I know that anyone who attends a New Wine, New Wineskins event will come away better equipped to love and serve people in our society to Christ.

In the spirit of a popular lyric from my era, New Wine, New Wineskins is about ‘taking it to the streets.’ At the New Wine events, my students come with their academic theological paradigms, learned in the classroom, and find themselves immersed in the traffic of culture, where theology has to be more than religious horn honking.

New Wine, New Wineskins offers a purposeful tool for all Christians eager to share the Good News of Jesus Christ in a world of great challenge and opportunity.
