SUMMARY

Throughout the world, many people claim to be a Christian. This could mean something different for each person. Even people who don't practice Christianity in their life self-identify as such. If we look at Scripture, however, we have a clear understanding of what a Christian is and how our lives are to reflect that identity. In this episode, Rick and Brad will look at how Christians can claim their identity in Christ and see what role the local church plays in a true Christian's life.
