Platforms to Pillars Trading the Burden of Performance for the Freedom of God's Presence

A biblical response to living in a platform society. A platform society emphasizes individualism and performance. It’s rooted in the belief that self and personal desires are preeminent. In Platforms to Pillars, cultural expert Mark Sayers explores how platform mentality is misshaping our contemporary world and contrasts this to the biblical call of Christians to live as pillars. By looking at the ancient world—a world remarkably similar to our own—Sayers explores the flaws of a platform society. Sayers takes a deep dive into the influence and allure of digital platforms on individuals and society, and he invites readers to envision a legacy that lives beyond themselves. Like columns in buildings, human pillars provide support and strength. They fortify and protect community through virtue and character and pass these values to others. A much-needed corrective, Platforms to Pillars models a biblical and better way for Christians to live.
