How do we address issues that are tearing the church and the culture apart like transgender,

marriage and sexuality, immigration, gun control, race and racism?

Sean, your book, A Rebels Manifesto, addresses many of those questions and we want to

get into that.

But you don't strike me as a rebel.

So why did you title it this and how do you justify a title like this?

Yeah, so recently I was studying the history of rock and roll and how you can understand

rebellion through rock and roll music.

So you go back to the 50s and some rock and roll was pushing back against racial

injustice at that time.

You go in the 60s and it was pushing back against the

establishment. You go in the 70s some rock and roll was pushing back against the

war and fighting for freedom. Go in the 80s, punk rock, etc.

The history of rock and roll is the history of kind of rebellion in the sound, in the lyrics, in the

dress.

Well, recently I was thinking, gosh, with social media today, everybody has the ability to

scream and protest against the system in the way that rock and roll music kind of did in the past.

So I started thinking, what does it mean to be a rebel today?

What does it mean to be a contrarian?

And in a sense, a contrarian now with somebody who says, you know what, I'm going to understand you.

I'm going to see the world through your lens.

I'm not going to cancel you.
