One of the great challenges for discipleship today is navigating a media world which so often floods Christians with content which is undermining or antagonistic to spiritual growth. In the early nineteenth-century, British evangelicals sought to respond to similar challenges--and ended up reforming not only the church, but all of society. This talk brings out some of the underlying convictions about discipleship which guided evangelical leaders of the Wilberforce generation, and applies these to Christians living in the internet age.

David Sandifer was born and raised in France, of American parents. He holds a Ph.D. in history, from the University of Cambridge (2014). He spent 20 years in pastoral ministry in the U.S. and Australia, and also worked for a Christian public advocacy organisation in Australia, where he co-launched an on-going campaign to protect children from online pornography. He currently lectures in the area of practical theology and ethics at Tyndale Theological Seminary in the Netherlands. He has a heart to see the church in Europe renewed in love for God and holiness, and to see Christian families equipped to raise counter-cultural disciples who will 'shine like stars in the universe' (Phil. 2:15).
