Christian Resistance: Learning to Defy the World and Follow Jesus - Part 1 with Guest James Spencer

If your faith were a paper cup, would it be able to hold water? Or would you find that it would leak a little, or a lot? Today on Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton interviews James Spencer, Ph.D., to discuss his new book, "Christian Resistance: Learning to Defy the World and Follow Jesus." Listen as Dr. Spencer challenges us to examine our faith to ensure we are not losing our ability to testify for Christ in a world that tries to convert us and water down our own beliefs. Romans 12:2 declares, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – His good, pleasing and perfect will.”
