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.
