Where should Christians draw the line between Christian liberty and Christian witness?
On today’s Steve Marston Show, Steve tackles a potentially controversial question after seeing an advertisement for a Bible study being held at a local brewhouse. Is meeting people where they are a creative way to share the Gospel—or can trying to make Christianity more appealing to the culture ultimately dilute its message?
Steve discusses alcohol, personal conviction, Christian freedom, our influence on other believers, and why having the freedom to do something doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the wisest choice. Ultimately, believers must seek God’s direction while also allowing room for other Christians to follow their own convictions.
Plus, Seek & Find takes us into the book of Micah, including judgment, restoration, the prophecy of the coming ruler from Bethlehem, Micah 6:8, and the incredible picture of God’s mercy found in Micah 7:19.
Steve also revisits his conversation with Christian recording artist Nicole Lauren, whose unexpected journey into Christian music began when she was discovered while serving on her church worship team. Nicole shares how God led her into songwriting, the story behind her song “My Good Shepherd,” and how difficult seasons strengthened her dependence on Christ.
Also on the show: stories about Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy’s baptisms, Lila Rose standing firm on her pro-life message, and legendary guitarist Phil Keaggy’s decision to prioritize faith and family over greater fame and career opportunities.
And, of course, there’s a dad joke and Faith Between Your Ears, as we continue memorizing 1 Corinthians 2:9.
