On This Week’s Episode:
On today’s episode, we are talking about immigration. But our job is not to convince you to think about it a specific way or to tell you how to vote.

On This Week’s Episode:
Today we’re talking about gun policy in the United States of America. We’re seeking to give some historical context, maybe some theological framework. We’re asking the question, how does our policy on guns form us? What are the postures of our heart? Are we seeking safety above all else or are we dealing with fear? What are the idols that we’re seeking to cast from our heart and what does wisdom look like? Join us for our conversation today on The Living Room Disciple, where discipleship finds a home.
