Quotes from this episode:

"We've taken the backseat and let the enemy take the front seat. It's time for us as Christians to be more vocal and share the truth in a world that is falling apart."

"Preaching the gospel isn't just about love, grace, and mercy. We also need to talk about truth because that's what Jesus did. We're called to mimic his standard of grace and truth."

"Our role as pastors and communicators is to point people to Jesus and leave space for the Holy Spirit to transform them. It's about guiding and showing where God might be taking them, while leaving room for that personal transformation."
