#63 - Charges Dropped After Cop Arrests Public Preacher (feat. Joel Saint and Matthew Wear)

A Pennsylvania man was recently arrested for standing on a public sidewalk (across the street from a pride event) and quoting a portion of 1 Corinthians 14:33. The entire incident was filmed by Matthew Wear and that video clip has gone viral. Damon Atkins was facing charges of "disorderly conduct" prior to the Berks County District Attorney's Office announcing on June 7 that all charges have been dropped. In this episode of The Lancaster Patriot, local pastor Joel Saint and street preacher Matthew Wear join managing editor Chris Hume to discuss the incident and consider the Christian's duty to proclaim the gospel, even amid a hostile culture.
