Welcome to the Life With Cornerstone podcast!

This weekend we started our summer series, Enemy Territory: Daniel’s Defiant Faith. To follow up after the weekend messages, Pastor Brandon sits down with Pastor Paul Hunter to talk about the weekend message, After the Amen.

KEY MOMENTS

At 7:45, they discuss more on the topic of being assimilated to American culture. Pastor Brandon asks about how as a member of a church to hold church leaders accountable while still trusting their leadership.

At 22:00, during the weekend message, Pastor Paul said, “You don’t lose your faith in a moment. You give it away one compromise at a time.” They discuss how we can do a better job at recognizing the small consequences as they come at us personally.

At 27:57, Pastor Brandon brought up Pastor Paul’s “line in the sand” analogy and asked how we can know where that line is?

HOW TO IDENTIFY YOUR LINE: ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS…

1. Does this require me to PARTICIPATE in sin, or just EXIST in a sinful world?

2. Does this compromise my PRIMARY allegiance?

3. Would participating in this require me to LIE about who I am?

4. Is this something the Gospel CLEARLY addresses?

5. Would choosing this require me to ACTIVELY DISHONOR God?

At 35:09, with the theme of this series being “strangers in a strange land” Pastor Paul talks through how to reach people around us without being shaped by them.
