The silence of the Church in America has been marketed as compassion, but true compassion speaks into the darkness and becomes a beacon of light to those in the storm.
Jim Evans has been involved in bringing light into the culture for over 50 years. He has authored Compassionate Confrontation - A Christian Response to Post-Christian America and Hopeless in America - Finding and Anchor in the Cultural Storm.
Evans speaks from battlefield experience and gives practical encouragement to those who want to make a difference.
The conversation delves into the passion for truth, the significance of May 14th, the need for a Holy Spirit awakening, and the role of apologetics and worldview in shaping beliefs. Dr. Alex McFarland shares insights on these topics and emphasizes the importance of these themes in today's context.
