Summary
The devil wants the evangelist to forget about the salvation of his own soul because he is so preoccupied with the salvation of other souls. Dave “Almost the Strongest Man in Pittsburgh” VanVickle and I answer a listener’s question about struggling with grave sin while being in a position of leadership in the faith. We discuss the spiritual battle all evangelists face and how to find freedom from sin and shame.
This episode contains adult themes that are not suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.
Snippet from the Show
Before we help others fight their spiritual battles, we must first face the battles in our own soul.
