Fear and lies are the only weapons that our enemies have against us. So, Kevin Oelke and I discuss how we can boldly speak the truth in our modern world. We explore the cultural pressures that make it difficult to stand firm in one’s beliefs and provide practical advice on how to navigate these obstacles with courage and conviction. Whether you're a leader, parent, or anyone seeking to live out your faith boldly, this conversation offers valuable insights and inspiration.

Topics Covered:

🔸 Defining and understanding truth in a relativistic society
🔸 The importance of humility and boldness in speaking truth
🔸 Practical steps for addressing difficult topics with love and conviction
🔸 Personal stories of standing firm in the face of cultural challenges

Join us for an empowering discussion that will encourage you to stand tall and speak the truth boldly in the modern world.

I got to sit down with the awesome Eric Forrestal a couple weeks ago. We originally met through the wonderful world of real estate. We discussed a wide variety of topics including but not limited to, Eric's life story, his company (Workforce Renegades), the DISC assessment, effective communication, and last but certainly not least: God.

You can check out Eric's business by going to WorkforceRenegades.com

Eric spoke powerfully about how God has been working in his life lately, and how he's beginning to realize that God is always there for us if we would only have eyes to see it.

Hope you enjoy this episode.
