Guest: Jeff Childers (Coffee & Covid)

Host: Pastor Zach Terry

What happens when pastors trade courage for comfort? Attorney and author Jeff Childers joins Pastor Zach Terry for another “Coffee & Covid” edition of Code Red. Together they unpack the collision between Christianity, culture, and politics — and why clarity from the pulpit matters now more than ever.

If you’re tired of watered-down sermons and vague slogans, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.
