Welcome to The After Thoughts Show! In this episode, Zane Garza and Chris Chadwick discuss the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, reflecting on the spiritual battle between good and evil. They challenge listeners to engage with the culture, speak truth in love, and move beyond shallow, "meme" Christianity. The conversation then transitions to an in-depth review of Sunday's message from Romans 16:1-16, titled "Gratitude Expressed." They explore the importance of Christian gratitude, the value of women in ministry, and the counter-cultural love and equality found within the local church.
