168: Shining Our Light in the Darkness
Main Points From the Show
The world can be a dark place. Too many focus on our differences and respond to the things we disagree on in unkind ways. Jesus calls us to love our neighbor, including those who aren’t easy to love.
As conservatives, we often hesitate to get involved in stopping the corruption we see around us; when we do, we don’t always do so in a kind and loving manner. In this episode, we dig into what it means to be zealous for Christ without being a zealot. We, who want to make a positive change, can do so without responding to hate with hateful behaviors.
It’s time we get back to God’s truth and shine our light into the dark corners of our world, and this episode will inspire and empower you to do just that.

Quotes from the Show
Sometimes we get so busy doing God’s work we forget to do Godly work.
Don’t forget to allow the Holy Spirit to do His part.
It’s not up to us to fix anyone else’s life.
Verses Referenced
O Lord, shouldn’t I hate those who hate you?
Shouldn’t I despise those who oppose you?
Yes, I hate them with total hatred,
for your enemies are my enemies.
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Test me and know my anxious thoughts.
Point out anything in me that offends you,
And lead me along the path of everlasting life.
Psalm 140:21-24 NLT
