In this episode, our president, Rev. Michael Langer, shares a message he delivered in 2022 that focuses on the importance of whole-life discipleship for Christ-centered engagement with the public square. The message delves into social media algorithms' intentional and damaging role in civil discourse and how Peter's message pointed towards a way of life we should consider today - living differently amid power differentials. This message will lay a foundation for the next series of devotionals in the Presence Weekly newsletter.
