Harmless or Holy? Why the Church Must Choose Bravery Over Niceness cogs7e45

Tony Bruin & Aaron Dotson Discuss What It Really Means to Be Bold in the Faith

📌 This is an archived episode of Christianity Now, originally recorded in 2023. The insights remain just as sharp, the challenge just as necessary. Tony and Aaron take on the spiritual malaise of the modern church and call believers back to real, costly, courageous faith.

🔥 What does Christian bravery look like when there's no persecution?
🔥 Is your faith costing you anything at all—or are you just playing church?
🔥 Are we letting comfort take the place of conviction in the name of niceness?

This episode is for those who are tired of passive religion and ready to speak truth, endure suffering, and live out an active faith.
