In this episode of Faith + State, Vince Miller and his son-in-law, Minnesota State Rep. Elliott Engen, talk about what it means to stand for truth in an age of moral confusion. From discipleship to politics, they challenge believers to stop spectating and start engaging—because when good men do nothing, evil wins by default.

Summary:

We live in a world that's lost its moral compass—where "my truth" replaces the truth. In this conversation, Pastor Vince Miller and Politician Elliott Engen discuss how moral relativism is shaping our schools, laws, and even our churches. They call Christians to engage—not just complain—by discipling, serving, and standing for what's right.

Whether you're a pastor, parent, or policymaker, this episode will equip you to fight for truth with both conviction and compassion.
