How to Protest and Why You Should | David in 22

What this episode covers

"It's an uncomfortable fact for a lot of Christians that the Bible is so comfortable taking God to court." Protesting demonstrates what you stand for and what you stand against. We live in a fallen world, surrounded by wrongs and injustices, so it's easy to feel helpless and hopeless. But we're not completely helpless. https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick) explains why you should protest as he reads through https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Samuel+18&version=NIV (2 Samuel 18). Discover how to protest from David when his world shatters as we continue our series on https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/david-in-22-stories/ (David in 22). In this episode, we discuss David's family.
