In this conversation, Tim Reed and I discuss the current state of the church, the challenges it faces, and the importance of understanding persecution. We emphasize the need for believers to embody the love of Christ, avoid choosing sides in cultural conflicts, understand the significance of spiritual warfare, and focus on personal responsibility in their faith. In light of the Charlie Kirk assassination, our discussion also touches on the impact of tragedy on faith communities, the significance of humility, and the necessity of confidence in salvation as believers navigate their individual paths in the faith.
