Summary

Why was Jaden Ivey reportedly fired after refusing to celebrate what he called unrighteousness, and what does that reveal about the cost of Christian conviction in today’s culture? In this episode, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Paul Cunningham respond to the controversy surrounding Jaden Ivey, unpack how believers should stand with courage and wisdom under pressure, and show how the resurrection of Jesus changes the way we read the entire Bible.
