I just got back from a live interview at a church in Anaheim California. My guy Raymond Gregory was speaking on James 2 and favoritism and wanted to bring me to chat about the issue of celebrity and being controlled by culture in modern church. Having never done this before, I was admittedly nervous...the audio from the conversation is in the episode. Listen!

Season 2: Episode 6 - Did I just bomb my first speaking gig?

On today's episode, you get a sneak peak at one the most popular chapters of my book, titled "Registered Flex Offenders." The chapter wrestles with the idea that our social media posts and curated image might actually cause others to envy our lives leading to anxiety and depression. As Christians, should we care about that? Should we really be controlled by the opinions and interpretations of others? That's what we get into in this chapter!
