Thursday Aug 04, 2022
"You do you" has become a popular phrase with this generation because many people believe that we should all be able to do what what each person thinks is right – that there should be no laws prohibiting anyone if no one else is being hurt. This idea is being shared by some Christians as well, claiming that we are moving backwards in society by having laws that keep people from making their own choices. So how should christians approach this thought process?
In this week's episode of Real Talk Christian Podcast, Marc and Fuller sit down to talk about this conversation, but the catch with this conversation is that this question comes directly from Fuller's wife, Janeal.
