American culture is presently awash with sinful practices that starkly conflict with the historic Christian roots of our nation, prompting deep trepidation among conservative believers.

But even as abortion, pornography, homosexuality, transgenderism, and other vices appear to be increasingly accepted, the response from many Christians and even institutional church leaders seems to be an impotent surrender to the rising tide of wickedness and degeneracy.

Michael Clary, the lead pastor of Christ the King Church in Cincinnati, Ohio, believes there is a tendency toward passivity in our church culture, a phenomenon he calls “loser theology.” He is writing a book that details the danger “loser theology” can present to Christian faithfulness.
