Why the Gospel is Not Private with Pasto...

Charlie Kirk
About this episode

When confronted with the many great political controversies in America, many pastors prefer to punt by saying they "just want to focus on the Gospel." Pastor Jentezen Franklin feels very differently. Politics pervades every facet of life, and that means the Gospel must have something to say about it. Pastor Franklin talks about praying for President Trump, building houses for trafficked women, the far-too-many funerals he's held for children killed by cartel-trafficked drugs, and why his church has thrived so much in the wake of Covid.
