Different Wirings: John the Baptist vs. John the Beloved

America is in a divided and angry moment. Should "niceness" be our goal? When is it right to confront another Christian and how should we do so? What is the key to balancing grace and truth? In this conversation, I talk with pastor and podcaster Shane Idleman about some of the toughest challenges Christian face today, such as: *What is the #1 sign of a FALSE prophet today?

*Is confrontational Christianity biblical?

*How can we speak up boldly and yet with appropriate gentleness?
