Separation of Church & State?

Episode Summary

Where do you draw the line when it comes to "Separation of Church & State"? Is there a line? And how do you know where the line is drawn?

As leaders in ministry, these are the questions that we find ourselves asking when it comes to leading in the local church and serving in our culture and society. With so many societal issues before us, it can be difficult to know what responsibility the local church has in addressing those issues and equipping people to move forward.

In this episode, Perry Noble and Shane Duffey talk through those difficulties and how NewSpring Church has navigated those challenges.
