This is the Candor Podcast where we speak the truth in love. Our goal is to equip Christians to live out a Biblical worldview in their everyday lives. We will be talking about music, shows, movies, and the culture. How do we grow in our discernment? I believe when we read our Bibles daily and pray for wisdom, God will give us the knowledge we need to compare and contrast what the Word says to the culture.
