Roundtable: When Friendship Tests Your Faith
As Christians, we’re called to be lights in a dark world. But when you have to stand up for truth among friends and colleagues who challenge your beliefs, how do you stay strong? What’s the motivation and means of making and growing friendships with those who are apathetic or hostile to biblical truth about life, sexuality — even the gospel itself? Guests Glenn and Kat have found a way to keep their faith front and center in friendships with non-Christians. You’re guaranteed to find their stories inspiring and challenging as you ponder how to love God and love others without selling out.
Culture: Straight Talk About Booze
Dr. Trent Langhofer has long been a licensed therapist and addiction recovery counselor — after years of being an addict himself. He knows the temptation that drugs and alcohol present in a culture where isolation, busyness, comparison and anxiety have a hold. So what’s the straight story on booze? What’s OK and what’s too much? Do your reasons for drinking matter? What about social drinking? How do you know you have a problem, and what’s the first step to doing something about it? Trent joins us to dole out facts, and more importantly, offer hope and healing steps for those ready to take a new look at their relationship with alcohol.
