SUMMARY

Returning to their conversation on how Christians can sometimes act weird, Rick and Brad discuss why we can often get offended so easily as well as how we can engage in healthy conversation with those who disagree with us. So much of this comes down to our identity and how we believe others perceive us. Listen in as we continue to grow in our Christian identity without having to be weird in our society.
