Summary
My good friend Pastor Sam Sanden is here with me today and we are talking about cancel culture within the church and the effect it has on individuals and ministries, while underscoring the crucial role of grace, forgiveness, and restoration. We’re also discussing the significance of actively participating in culture and leveraging our influence for the glory of God, and we can not miss the opportunity to pray for our leaders and support their ministries.
If you stick around for Happy Hour, Sam and I are talking about challenges associated with ministry and Sam passionately shares his commitment to being a beacon of salt and light in the public sphere, urging fellow Christians to exercise their right to vote and even consider running for office. We’re also sharing resources available to churches navigating political involvement.
