Why Christians Shouldn't Cancel People

ASCENSION
About this episode

How should a Christian react to “cancel culture”?

Chances are that if you’ve been on social media or listened to the news in the past year, you’ve heard of “cancel culture.” Cancel culture is that practice of boycotting a person or group of people because of controversial actions or opinions. While it might have a fancy new name, this is nothing new to history. Every time period has had some individuals or practices that society deems as controversial or questionable. But are we supposed to practice this kind of behavior as Christians?

Today, Fr. Mike talks about cancel culture, and how we as Christians are called to respond to it.
