In today's episode of the Hero of the Hour, Mark is joined by Pastor Keith Haney, as they discuss the role of religion in today's society. Keith argues that a decline in religious participation has led to a decrease in societal kindness and forgiveness. He believes churches should focus on listening to their communities and working together to solve problems. Mark agrees that collaboration is key and that people from all walks of life can find common ground.

Keith criticizes churches that have become irrelevant by either completely blending in with culture or isolating themselves from it. He proposes that churches should act as a guiding light, offering truth and comfort in a world filled with confusion. He emphasizes the importance of authenticity and the need for churches to acknowledge the struggles of their congregations.

The conversation concludes with a call to action. Keith highlights his podcast, "Becoming Bridge Builders," as a platform for conversations about important issues. He welcomes people from all backgrounds to share their stories and perspectives in hopes of fostering understanding and connection.
