This week Angie and Stevens are back after a busy few weeks to talk about the presidential election, Christian integrity, and the Christian responsibility to vote and be involved. Angie and Stevens encourage fellow Christians to get up from the sidelines and get involved and occupy, not just in elections, but in family, community and church.
This week, Angie and Stevens reiterate the importance of accountability, submitting to that with other brothers and sisters, and how that can encourage you to avoid sin. In contrast, not having accountability, or enough of it, can also encourage sin. In the case of Steven Lawson, the information we have is limited, but one thing is for sure, the importance of guarding your heart and mind with scripture and that Ephesians 6 armor of God is a must, and a non-negotiable in the life of a disciple of Christ.
