In this episode, Pastor Ryan explores how Christians can approach divisive issues with biblical conviction, humility, and a commitment to truth. Rather than looking to Scripture for support for what we already believe, we’re challenged to let God’s Word shape our beliefs—even when following Jesus leads somewhere we didn’t expect.
