SUMMARY: Co-hosts Mike Erre, Timothy Stafford, and Bonnie Lewis knock it out of the park as they detail three ways Christians should not respond to mass shootings, but quickly pivot to the ways Christians must be different in how we approach tragedy.
The foundation lies in that all humans are created in the image of God. That belief should shift our focus from political memes, partisan talking points, and platitudes, to lamenting and telling the truth of a loving and powerful God.
KEY QUOTE: “I think Jesus-followers have to play by an entire set of different rules and have an entirely different set of aims than just reinforcing the divisive politics of our age.”
DIG DEEPER: We curated four guided learning paths on guns and gun violence to help you learn about the subject through a distinct Christian lens.
