Does Christian freedom equal complete autonomy?

March 18th, 2022
by Pastor Michael Gabbert

What is the authority for Christians and churches? Are we our own authority? Do we get to determine for ourselves the best way to live the Christian life? What does it say about a church when it decides to stray from doctrinal tradition? Listen in as Pastor Michael discusses these issues in #TruthCurrents.

Craig A. Carter, “An open rebellion in the Roman Catholic Church,” March 15, 2022.

Carl R. Trueman, “The Third Great Awakening?” March 14, 2022.

Bob Smietana, “A 300-year-old church hopes to connect with spiritual but not religious neighbors,” February 15, 2022.
