Pastor Steve Meister is back on the pod’ and we discuss the value of controversy among christians and in the church. It can be discouraging to see fighting and conflict, but these are often tools God uses to sharpen his people and clarify truth. How can we engage in necessary debate and disagreement in ways that honor God and best serves his people?
