Is Your Hope in the Right Place?
From 'Round the Table with Pastor Ryan Kimmel · 00:48:46
Show by Pastor Ryan Kimmel
What should Christians make of the world around them—and how can they stay focused on what matters most? On this episode of 'Round the Table with Pastor Ryan Kimmel, pastors Ryan and Logan Bailey talk about the election, where Christians should place their hope, and why our calling to follow Jesus goes beyond politics. They also share stories of revival and discuss how to keep good commitments from crowding out what matters most. Then they answer listener questions about violence in movies, horror, and whether entertainment can glorify evil. The conversation ends with a few movie recommendations—and a prayer for revival and for people to find hope and life in Jesus. What movie would you recommend every Christian watch?
