You Can Talk About That?
by Eric Davis
Hello Listeners! Does Free Speech really still exist in this country? Do you believe we can we talk about anything? Can followers of Jesus Christ discuss ANY issue, topic, controversy, or dysfunction of today without anger and walk away with their unity in Christ still intact? Welcome to "YOU CAN TALK ABOUT THAT?” the podcast where we believe any topic is up for discussion. As believers in Christ Jesus our unity is rooted solidly in Him alone. So with that belief as our foundation, we should be able to discuss anything with an open dialogue, a sober mind, holding fast to scripture, and maintain a spirit of peace and unity.
