The following program is recorded content created by the Truth Network.

Jesus said that we as followers would be hated, mocked, reject it.

We'll talk about how to handle it today, how to bless those who curse us.

It's time for the line of fire with your host, biblical scholar and cultural commentator Dr. Michael Brown,

your voice for moral sanity and spiritual clarity.

Call 866-34 Truth to get on the line of fire.

And now, here's your host, Dr. Michael Brown.

Friends, I have a very clear word for each of you today. Moms, dads, kids, educators, pastors,

leaders, businessmen, business women, college, students, social media influencers, single people,

grandparents. If you're going to follow Jesus, if you're going to walk in righteousness,

if you're going to speak the truth, there will be people who will hate you.

No matter how kind you are, no matter how Christ-like you are, no matter how long-suffering

and patient you are, if you shine your light in dark places, if you walk closely with the Lord people will hate you mock

you malign you reject you and maybe even do worse you can expect it you can count on it and in fact

it will be a good sign that you are doing what is right this is Michael Brown we're going to have a very

real life broadcast today.

And in fact, in real life time, I want to give you an opportunity. If you are one of those who

despises me, who hates me, who calls me names online, who thinks I'm deceived, I'm deceiving others,

who thinks I'm dangerous in the bad sense of the word,

as opposed to being dangerous to the kingdom of darkness, which I want to be, you can get to call in.

You can blast me right here on national talk radio.

You can blast me for the whole internet world to hear.
