Why We Want To Let Our Redemption Show

When we can be honest about where we’re at with our problems and in our own spiritual life, it permits others to do the same. Ask yourself, do others feel safe to approach you, even with their sins and screw-ups?

Living on Mission When Your Spouse Is Not Into It

Whether a not-yet-believer or your spouse is just not into this “missional thing”, we’ll help you break through and live the life you’ve been called to live!

God, Guns and the Second Amendment

One of today’s biggest and most vigorously debated issues is gun control. Statistics show Americans of all persuasions and political affiliations have become increasingly opposed to more gun control laws, despite the growing number of mass shootings. Yet clearly, some cry out for greater gun control.

This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk with Caesar’s son, a former Marine and now an attorney, to gain a better understanding of the issue of gun control from a legal, Christian, and Gospel perspective.

The issue of gun control from a Christian perspective is not black and white. All of this is fueled by past and present history, personal pain, and plenty of emotion.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• What the Second Amendment actually says and the context in which it was originally written.
• Why new gun control laws are so hard to get passed in America and abroad.
• If the Bible and Jesus ever advocate for either lethal self-defense or passivity.
