Equipping Overcomers in a Pornified World
Today, sexual depravity is everywhere, the occult has gone mainstream, suicide rates are rising, and mass shootings are commonplace. Our nation is divided in a cultural civil war, and Christians are the enemy. Yet, most churches rarely discuss these issues openly, let alone act as if there’s a problem outside their doors.
