124 - Christ Is Greater Than the Chaos with Mike Tatlock

Have you wondered how Christians can remain rooted in Christ and faithfully engage a culture filled with chaos, confusion, and compromise?

In this episode of the Bold Faith Now podcast, Missy talks with pastor, author, and Portland Trail Blazers chaplain Mike Tatlock about his book, A Compelling Faith in a Compromising Culture. Mike explains why today's cultural climate feels like a storm and how believers can stand firm without retreating from the people and places God has called them to serve. He also shares how compromise begins when we agree with the wrong promises, how hidden altars can compete for our devotion, and the miraculous story of surviving a fall of nearly 600 feet while climbing Mount Hood.

In this episode, Missy and Mike discuss:

• How believers can remain deeply rooted in Christ during cultural storms

• Why compromise begins when we agree with promises that contradict God's truth

• How success, comfort, money, and even our phones can become hidden altars

• Practical ways to engage others through prayer, relationships, thoughtful questions, and genuine follow-up

This conversation is a powerful reminder that Christians should not run from the darkness. Christ in us is greater than the surrounding chaos, and God has placed each of us in a mission field where we live, work, and play.

Remember to live boldly for Jesus and let your light shine bright for Him!
