Summary
Listener questions, hard truths, and no dodging reality. We’re talking tithing, marriage tension, sororities, and why the culture keeps blaming the wrong things for violence. If we won’t name destructive ideas, we can’t confront them. Let’s talk about truth, courage, and keeping Christ at the center—especially at Christmas.
