We pull apart these events, the backlash they received, and what it signifies about faith in the public sphere. This episode isn't just about baseball, though. We dig deeper into societal issues, particularly pertaining to how Christians can engage with these controversies while holding true to their beliefs. We recount our experiences with brands like Disney and Starbucks, and how we tread the delicate balance between our convictions and everyday life. We highlight the importance of open dialogue with family, especially around topics like the LGBTQ+ community. We also examine the pressure to succeed early on, the perils of social media, and the need to prioritize God's anointing over fame. Finally, we delve into leadership, humility, and the significance of empowering others.This conversation will surely leave you deep in thought and introspection.
