Anchor & Flame

We live in a deeply divided nation.

This episode speaks specifically to the dangers we face when committing to a political allegiance -- especially as Christians. The Church finds itself placing politics above scripture; candidates above Jesus. 

We need to get back to basics and reframe our worldview around the Word of God instead of the heads on TV. 

A big question we tackle is: what do we do when the political allegiance to which we have committed to takes a wrong turn on an issue we are passionate about?
