Rod Dreher Answers, “Isn’t the Benedict Option a Retreat?”
In Part 3 of Pastor Derek Buikema’s compelling interview with author Rod Dreher, they discuss the difference between a cowardly retreat from culture and a “strategic retreat” intended to strengthen the faithful for the persecution that is coming to an increasingly anti-Christian world, including America.
Rod argues that Americans, who are “creatures of comfort, peace, and ease,” are not prepared for the suffering Christ has promised his followers will come. Pastor Derek and Rod discuss some of the reasons for the church’s ill-preparedness and what is necessary to instill in believers a willingness even to die for Christ.
