Mission Briefing 03: Stop Hinting

Video
Men’s Alliance

Too many pastors are tiptoeing vaguely around the edges of truth. Watch out for what is said and not said by articulate speakers trying not to offend. The gospel is offensive. Be bold and call out sin. This is no time to coward away from biblical truth. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
