Loving Your Church During Cultural Flashpoints
How do you love your church during cultural flashpoints? Last week's assassination of political activity Charlie Kirk is one of those flashpoints. It seems that people are making the decision to leave their churches based on how their pastors and leadership have responded to big cultural moments in our society, whether that's through action or through silence. Don't miss the conversation on Equipped with Chris Brooks as we look at five troubling trends threatening the church today and encourage pastors.
