Changing the Minds of NonAffirming Christians
What does and does not work when talking to non-affirming evangelical Christians?
It can certainly be tough and frustrating.
We are dealing with patriarchal, moral-majority driven false teaching. All taught with God’s name attached to it – and grave consequences if you don’t just fall in line.

In this episode, we will talk about how we can change the hearts and minds of non-affirming Christians.
