Our Desires Aren’t Our Identity

Greg talks about Christopher Yuan’s story and the idea that our desires do not define our identity, then he answers questions about retaliation for not participating in CRT training at work, power in Jesus’ name, whether abortion is better than Hell, and whether Hell is punishment or merely suffering as a result of being separated from God.
