Transforming CultureThe world is rapidly changing. Author: Muskoka Bible Centre
The world is rapidly changing. Every time we blink, it seems theres a new cultural rule that we all have to follow. It can feel like waves crashing on us: we want to love others well, but also lead them to Jesus truthfully. Join us for Transforming Culture, where we take a deeper dive into how Christianity and the Bible interact with society and culture. These podcast episodes are based on sessions taught live at Muskoka Bible Centre as a part of our summer ministry programming. MBC's mission is to grow resilient, biblically rooted families to the glory of God. We provide experiences where guests are renewed in their faith journey with Jesus Christ, connected to others in meaningful relationship and equipped to be the hands and feet of God in their communities.

The Church as Embassy
Episode 9
Friday, 19 December, 2025
It's our final week of Transforming Culture, season four! Thank you for being on this journey with us, and know that we appreciate you! If you want more MBC content throughout the year, consider listening in to our Teaching Archive podcast - where we post sessions from our MBC summer and retreat seasons for you. This week on the Transforming Culture podcast, we're closing our season with one of our favourite sessions of last summer - not only because our Bible teacher, Sean Sheeran, is a gifted and generous speaker, but also because the topic really hits home when it comes to MBC's mission and vision: we want to create biblically rooted, resilient families, and we believe that is best accomplished through the local church! So, when Sean said he wanted to talk about the church as a type of outpost or embassy, we were thrilled. Enjoy! ----- ----- -----Speaker Bio:Sean first attended Hespeler Baptist Church as a non-Christian at age 17. Through the preaching of the gospel and the friendship of Christians, God showed him of his need to repent of his sin, believe in Jesus Christ and be saved. From there Sean attended Heritage Bible College, graduating with a Bachelor of Religious Education. In 2011 Sean was ordained with the Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches of Canada. Sean has been serving as lead pastor since September 2013. In 2023 he received his Master of Divinity from Heritage Seminary. He is married to Meredith and they have four children.----- ----- -----Resources: Churches: The Embassies and Geography of Heaven (Jonathan Leeman)Storm in the Desert (podcast mentioned during this episode)The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self (Carl Trueman) What is the Mission of the Church (Kevin DeYoung) Missions is Church Planting - Or It’s Not Really Missions (Mike McKinley) Evangelism: How The Whole Church Tells About Jesus (Mack Stiles)----- ----- -----Show Credits:Transforming Culture is a production of Muskoka Bible Centre.Producer: Luke LaRocqueEditing, Sound Design and Mixing: Charles WestAudio and Technical Support: The Summer 2025 A/V teamTheme Song: “Citizens” by Jon GuerraGraphic Design: Christina te-Bokkel Hotz
