Today we are discussing the name Allah, the Middle East, and Arab Christians. The misconception about the term Allah has led to racism and oppression to our Middle Eastern brothers and sisters.

After being asked our stance on sin (again) we decided to tackle the question in a podcast for those who have ever been asked what they think about sin.

TCFW is back with a new episode after our hiatus! Today we will be discussing some issues related to homelessness and the false idea that most churches have about "holiness" when it comes to ministry.
