Description

SHOW NOTES:

The integration of Christian faith with Indigenous healing practices requires careful discernment and a commitment to avoid syncretism. The goal is to show how Natives Who Follow Christ can fulfill the best aspects of your native culture while confronting and discarding anything that might be contrary to the Bible and your Christian faith.
