Summary

Pastor and author Lucas Miles joins Frank to discuss his new book, The Christian Left: How Liberal Thought Has Hijacked the Church. Why has the church gone left? Is the culture influencing the church rather than the church influencing the culture? How should Christians respond to the following claims? Jesus accepts everyone. Jesus would never get in the way of the love between two people. Jesus was a refugee. Jesus accepts foreigners and strangers. God doesn’t create walls that prevent us from coming to him. People need to live their truth. Some people are just born gay (or bi or transgender). A real Christian accepts everyone. Frank and Lucas also discuss where the right has gone wrong, and how Christians can get back to advocating the Truth.

0:40.6	That's the question that's most often asked.
0:43.4	But I'd like to pose another question, and that is this,
