Summary
What kind of Christian are you? In this episode, Jeff Cavins challenges us to break free from the trap of being a “mean” Christian — not cruel, but merely average. Drawing from Scripture and Church tradition, Jeff unpacks the call to move beyond lukewarm faith and become extraordinary disciples who truly impact the world.
