Kindness has fallen on hard times. Almost daily, we witness or experience cynicism, impatience, or incivility. And it begins to wear on a soul. Overall, we’re not doing well. We need hope. We need truth. We need God. Our guest will show us how our lives must be understood and lived in light of God’s kindness. Learn how to both marvel and thank God for His immeasurable kindness.
This hour we will talk with someone whose mission field has glittering lights and haute couture fashion. She will remind us that Hollywood needs Jesus just like every other part of the world and she’ll give us some specific prayer requests as we pray for those influencers. We then take up the issue of ethics in medicine. Is pregnancy the same as catching the measles? Why would nationalizing assisted suicide have far-reaching consequences for our country? Join us to hear the answers to these questions and more as we learn to think critically and biblically.
