Whoever won yesterday’s election, we are to be praying for him fervently. In this short episode, Mark Parrett and Steven Manuel guide you through WHY to pray for our president, and WHAT to pray for our president. Also, Mark has lost his dongle.

Steven Manuel sits around a campfire and waxes theological as he describes 5 levels of sonship based on Greek words translated “son” in the scriptures. These levels are not foregone conclusions; they’ll require increased levels of diligence, discipleship, and responsibility. He urges men to apprehend that for which Christ has apprehended them, namely, FULL maturity in Christ. This kind of maturity is not being sufficiently preached in modern evangelical congregations… but the ancient truths must be upheld and reiterated no matter what. Join him at the campfire!

Mark Parrett and Steven Manuel discuss the uncomfortable tension between running a home as a church HQ hospitality machine and the present cultural context that seems to be closing in on religious freedom.
