What if My Church Doesn’t Care?

What if My Church Doesn’t Care?

Isaac and Austin sit down for the second installment in our FAQ series with a question we often get on the road – “what if my church doesn’t care about ethnic unity?” We talk through scenarios when someone might want to leave their church, but spend most of the conversation cautioning against making quick decisions or judgments about others.

The Necessity of a Charitable Disposition

The Necessity of a Charitable Disposition

Pastor Josh Chatman is back with us because he thinks Christians need to grow in our application of charity. Christian charity is just another way to speak about loving our neighbors, which is a duty all of us have. We don’t have to agree with, understand, or even like someone to be kind to them. We do this in our churches, families, and workplaces, and when we do it well, God is glorified. Please join us in praying we’d look more like Jesus as we apply Christian charity.
