Here's my big idea, man. I care about the great commission and the future of the church and the

cultural inheritance that I'll hand my kids more than I care about my reputation with you. Christ may be our refuge, but Christianity is not escapism. I think today we're going to have a lot of pastors get to the end of their life and say, my greatest regret is not getting more involved. That's right. Well hey,

Liffree Nation, before we jump into the episode,

this podcast is recorded right here at Lake Point Church in Dallas, Texas. But the Liffree Nation is spread all over the country and all around the world. So if you've been watching and thinking, man, I wish I could be part of something like this. We want to invite you to take a simple next step, and that is join us for Church Online.

Every weekend we stream our services live on YouTube, Facebook, and our Church Online platform,

and it's more than just watching a service.

There are a live host in the chat, prayer teams ready to stand with you,

and people all around the world worshiping together in real time.

And so whether you're exploring the faith,

coming back to church or just looking for a place to start,

church online is a great way to jump in

and experience what God is doing here at Lake Point.

We would love to see you in the chat this weekend

and now enjoy the podcast.

Ryan and Josh, welcome to live free.

Welcome to live free. We're live, we're live brothers. Okay. And we're going now? We're going, dude. Let's do it now. All right. So here's what's getting ready to happen. You're about to, you know, as the catchy clickbaity kids title it, three megachurch pastors discuss. Yeah. Two and a half. Stop, man.

So here's what you get ready here.

There is a pretty seismic shift I feel like is happening right now with pastors and their relationship to politics.

And especially, honestly, this is what we want to talk about as that relates to the Great Commission.

Okay, so like, and this is honestly a radical shift from how pastors thought about things 30 years ago. All of our churches are seeing these things. I'll shoot you really straight. I'll just be really honest. There is probably nothing that, at least me, probably you guess, too, have taken more bullets from other pastors than this specific thing. Yeah. And we want to help pastors get their heads around it,

and then a bunch of Christians can listen and it's going to be awesome. That's interesting to point out. Not our parishioners, pastors. No, no, actually, church members in general are like, thank you. Yeah, they're like, because that's what I live in. Yeah. Thank you for coming out of the Tive-built bubble to speak to the world I live in.

So that's helpful for pastures to note.
