About CCI . . .

This is the official blog site for the Christ and Culture Initiative, a Christian think tank. The mission of the Christ and Culture Initiative is to “challenge and inspire the Church and the culture at large through thought, dialogue, and response.” CCI is a modern-day “men of Issachar” experiment (see 1 Chronicles 12:32 in the Bible) designed to call together men and women uniquely gifted, called, and qualified to think through the most pressing issues of the day where Christ and culture intersect.
