Summary

Have you noticed how any view that doesn't track with the mainstream secular consensus today is considered "extreme"? Even Facebook is now encouraging people to report when they've been exposed to so-called "extremist" content.

And guess what? Christians with a biblical worldview fall squarely in the newly defined extremist camp. (Welcome!)

It's really important to understand--and, in many ways, embrace--your position here. I explain why in this episode.

0:55.6	are Christians the new extremists?

1:11.3	times like my blog posts in audio format so that's why I'm recording this audio version of it as well.
1:17.0	Before I get to the content though, I have to tell you what happened when I posted this new blog post on my author Facebook page today
