Summary

Pastor Phil Hopper is joining me today and we’re talking about the difference between a Biblical issue and a political issue (or whether there is a difference at all) and the flak he is getting from the media for a recent sermon he preached. Don’t miss this encouragement from Phil on how we can be salty in our communities.
