Jimmy brings up one of Joe’s tweets related to contending for the faith, and they spend some time discussing the meaning behind it. Too often we think of ourselves as the hero in the midst of conflict, which can lead us to think of opponents as villains, and excuse our methods or approach even if wrong. Those who think of themselves as the hero will lack the humility needed to honor the Lord.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
