Courageous Christianity
As Christians living in this modern culture, we must be bold and refuse to keep our beliefs silent. On this classic Family Talk broadcast, Dr. Dobson sits down with law professor and radio journalist, Hugh Hewitt. Professor Hewitt talks about his book, The Embarrassed Believer, and why so many Christ followers are afraid to live out or share their faith publicly. Romans 12:2 says, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
