In today's episode, we talk with Ghanaian-Canadian blogger and pro-life advocate, Samuel Sey. Samuel blogs on political, social, and theological issues from a Biblical worldview. He focuses primarily on social justice, the BLM movement, and abortion. 

Today, we discuss justice. What is true Biblical justice? Does the social justice movement achieve justice? Do socialist policies achieve justice? Does abortion achieve justice for women??

Towards the end of the episode, we get into discussing the upcoming election. In this discussion, Samuel shares encouragement for individuals passionate about justice, life inside the womb, and Biblical truth. The encouragement and reminder of both our citizenship in heaven and King Jesus as the one who is sovereign over all brought incredible peace to our hearts and minds. We pray wisdom is gained and peace is felt from this episode. To God be the glory.

Should Christians be involved in politics? What about separation of church and state?

Perry shares the goals of his ministry and his responses to the questions above through reminding us of man's chief goal and purpose in life--to glorify God. What a blessing that is!

Today, special guest Marcia Montenegro joins us to discuss the New Age! Marcia describes the New Age as a network of beliefs that draws from Gnosticism, Eastern Religions, and New Thought.

We're back for our second conversation with Haley Williams! In this episode, Haley shares her personal experience with the Enneagram. In sharing, she explains what she has come to learn about the truth behind this personality test. Haley discusses the turning point of coming out of a world wrapped up in the mindset of this test through explaining the history, motives, and goals behind it.

As always, we end by comparing the promises of the Enneagram with the promises of the Gospel. You may have guessed it, but one is far better than the other!
