Listen " Get a Backbone "
Episode Synopsis
As C.S. Lewis wrote, "Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point."
Every virtue we have to possess as Christians is only as good as the courage we have to stand behind it. Yet, we live in a time when courage is in short supply.
In this episode, we discuss the importance of having a backbone.
