This space was born not out of outrage—but out of longing. Longing for a Church untangled from fear. For discipleship shaped more by Scripture than by algorithms. For cultural engagement rooted in love, not siege.
We’re not here to win a culture war. We’re here to remember who we are.
Render & Resist is a blog, a conversation, and a quiet rebellion against the way fear has discipled the Body of Christ. Through essays, historical reflections, and gospel-saturated explorations, we invite the Church to resist captivity—not with rage, but with revival.
