In a world full of competing voices, should pastors avoid controversial issues and “stay in their lane”? And who gets to decide what that lane is? We dive into why the Church cannot remain silent on the issues affecting our culture. Beyond any political party or group, our loyalty belongs to the Word of God, and we are unapologetic in our pursuit of truth. From politics and sexuality to marriage and family, our prayer is simple: “God, help us love You and love our neighbors as ourselves.”
QUESTIONS

- Why is it important for the Church to address difficult cultural issues rather than remain silent?
- How can you stand firm on biblical truth while genuinely loving people who disagree with you?

What is The Overflow?
Welcome to The Overflow—the bonus round of faith and real-life conversation with Brandon and Susan Thomas. Every week, they unpack the powerful insights, behind-the-scenes experiences, and personal reflections that didn’t quite fit into Sunday’s sermon.
This is where the conversation gets practical, honest, and a little bit unscripted. Whether it's an encouraging word, a deeper dive into Scripture, or a hilarious moment from their week, Brandon and Susan bring fresh perspective and spiritual fuel to keep you going.
It’s real talk, fresh takes, and full hearts.
These are the conversations too good to cut and too real to miss.
