0:00.0 | Welcome to the Elisa Childers podcast where we equip Christians to identify the core beliefs of historic Christianity, discern its counterfeits, and proclaim the gospel with clarity, kindness, and truth. And the Bible calls us as Christians to be salt and |
0:22.7 | light in the world. We are to bring that saltiness. We're to bring that light into our culture, |
0:28.9 | to hopefully change culture and protect people. And we are living in a time where culture is a bit |
0:34.7 | crazy. We have the redefinition of marriage. We have the redefinition |
0:38.9 | of what male and female is. We have people advocating for radical abortion policies. These are |
0:44.7 | Genesis 1 issues. These are creation ordinance issues. But our Christian witness isn't just |

1:56.1 | culturally, how they are influencing more conservative Christians to be silent, to be really quiet |
2:02.5 | about some of these topics and what the Bible has to say about how we should speak into |
2:09.0 | these topics. I asked, I had some really big highlights from this episode. I asked Ali about |
