In this powerful follow-up to What We Cheer For and What Have We Become?, we confront one of the most seductive lies in modern Christian life: the myth of neutrality. Too often, believers retreat into silence, mistaking inaction for peace, and vagueness for virtue. But Scripture calls us to something deeper.

In this episode, we explore:

Why neutrality is not a Christian posture

The danger of mistaking silence for spiritual maturity

How our presence in the public square must reflect Christ, not seek cultural control

The difference between faithful engagement and political dominance

What we risk by trying to stay inoffensive instead of faithful

A call to graceful, Spirit-led witness in a world desperate for truth and hope

This episode challenges listeners to examine what their silence is really saying—and invites the Church to reclaim its voice with humility, courage, and conviction.
