Welcome to today's podcast, where we're digging into the topic of standing up for the Lord. We're taking a closer look at those moments when it's crucial to confidently represent Him and acknowledge the incredible things He's done for us. Additionally, we'll be discussing when it's important not to tolerate any disrespect towards His name and how to navigate that while reflecting the love of Christ.
Lately, I've been fielding quite a few questions, especially about Lil Nas X and his statements. People are wondering, 'Should we approach this with love? Extend grace?'

Wisdom, in my view, involves understanding the situation first and aligning with the Lord's perspective. Without connecting with His heart, conveying both truth and love becomes challenging. During my prayerful reflections, I felt a shared grief with God for what has been said about Him. In that introspective moment, I found a righteous anger stirring within me.
