“All of these kinds of things are putting people in a panic and I think it’s time for the Christian to say, ‘Man, let’s talk about these [things] and think through how to move forward and engage a changing world, but without losing the gospel.”
FLAME wants to give people a Christian vision of reality. “We need to have open, honest discussions. We need to let people know, ‘You know, I care about social deals, I care about classism, racism. I care about sex trafficking. I care about abortion. I care about all of those things, but here’s why. I care about them for transcendent reasons as a Christian.’ And then laying out why we are so passionate about those things.”
