Today, we sit down with Jonny Ardavanis, lead pastor at Stonebridge Bible Church, to talk about his recent sermon where he called the Democratic Party a "demonic death cult" and how Christians need to vote for the party that aligns more with biblical principles and God's will for mankind. And is single-issue voting actually a good thing? We also discuss how Christians ought to respond to anxiety about the future and touch on why God allows suffering in our lives. Jonny powerfully shares the gospel with us and shares what he believes is God's plan for good in our lives.
