Our culture is under attack. Everything from the music, to the style, to the lingo have all been embraced by outsiders and marketed for profit to the world without regard for the originators.

However, in recent times, it appears that the church's role in the community has become less defined than ever before. So in this episode, the FreeLunch guys offer their opinions on whether today's church is building the people up or letting them down.
