Lead Pastor Jeff Denton looks into the rise of some current events like Pokemon Go, acceptance of pornography, and the current political climate. Does what Paul says to the church in Philippi have any relevance to these issues in our culture today?

Statistics on the Rise of Pornography
Pornography has been around for centuries in one form or another. However, the internet and rise of "legitimate porn companies" has made it more acceptable in the eyes of many in our society. These stats are from last year, but they have only increased in the past year. (There are some statistics updated this year, but we have decided those statistics are on pages with other things we're uncomfortable sharing.)

This site from Pew Research has results of studies this year showing how divisive this election is between members of differing parties.
