If you want to bring division to any discussion, talk politics. The culture of Christianity today is so afraid to offend, we've backed out of speaking truth in politics.

Is that the way God has called us to handle policies and government? My undercover guests from the Knight and Rose podcast are on the show today to talk about why Christians must get involved in p...

The hard truth is that God doesn't answer everyone's prayers. But there is a reason He doesn't, and that's what we'll talk about today.
