With John Crist’s recent public statement and return to social media, let’s look back at when Chris and Rich first discussed Crist’s public fall: “The Christian entertainment world has been rocked by the scandal of comedian John Crist’s grossly immoral and sinful behavior. Chris and Rich ask how Crist’s sins were missed and allowed to progress so far. What does this mean for the church? How can Christians prevent such persons from hurting the brethren in their midst? Join us for an extended episode on a difficult topic. Parental guidance is advised.”

At a time when the judgment of God is evident upon our nation as hatred and violence erupt around us, Chris and Rich discuss how even well-intended online discussions can fan the flames of an angry people.  Not only what topics we choose to engage but how we address these issues can inadvertently add fuel to the fire.  As Christians, even in matters of important doctrinal issues, we must treat others as creations in the image and likeness of God, showing grace and mercy as God has been merciful to us.  In this episode, they also ask the listeners to take time to pray that God would pour out His mercy on our nation.
