We like to play all the roles: judge, jury, and executioner. But, is there a better way? Is there a way for us to be a light for the gospel to those around us and not be judgmental, hypocritical, or bigoted? How ought we lovingly reprove those around us? In today’s episode, Cameron and Dr. J circle back to their time in Romans to bring a conclusion to this series. In their conversation, they will unpack the question, “Who made you the judge?,” and the answer may surprise you.
