Is the American Church still shining as the light of Christ, or have we made too many compromises in the name of "tolerance" and "inclusion"? As darkness grows in our nation, it’s becoming clear that the faith of many has become cloudy and confused, leading to the rise of secularism and threats to the freedoms once rooted in the Christian worldview. Where are we headed, and what lessons from the past should serve as warnings for our future?This week, Frank sits down with the one and only Dr. Erwin Lutzer about his brand new book, 'The Eclipse of God', which explores how America attempts to redefine God, replacing Him with one made in our image. Dr. Lutzer will challenge listeners to count up the cost of being a faithful follower of Christ in the face of growing cultural persecution and expose how the redefining of God has crept into the American Church.Resources mentioned during the episode:DR.
