In the episode, we dive deeper into discussing the "culture war" and how Christians should engage non-believers in dealing with high-stress social issues. We discuss how warring with the culture can make us impatient, Christians' attitudes towards mental health, how fear can create an overreaction and unnecessary overreaches by Christians in high places of influence, and how compassion can make a difference.

"But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first." Revelation 2:4
"An unwanted side effect of resisting assimilation is that the congregation lost the love it had at first (2:4). The Ephesian Christians faced the challenge of pursuing the way of Christian love without compromising the integrity of their faith. Christ warns them that unless this loss of love changes, their lampstand will be removed; that is, they will lose their identity as a Christian church."
-Craig Koester, Revelation and the End of All Things.
