Is the Church FORCING Religion in Schools? | Live Free with Josh Howerton

What if your biggest questions about faith, culture, and the future were all connected to something ancient—yet incredibly relevant? Join Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Tim Smith as they dive deep into the city of Corinth, uncovering its wild spiritual landscape and the surprising ways it mirrors our modern world. From the powerful symbolism of the Bema Seat to the tension between God's sovereignty and our free will, this conversation uncovers the richness of Acts 18, Paul's ministry, and the doctrine of predestination. Along the way, they explore the impact of Christian nationalism, religious liberty, and perspectives from Charlie Kirk and Texas Governor Greg Abbott—wrapped in grace, wisdom, and good humor. This one is packed with both spiritual depth and cultural insight… because yes, there is more. 👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for more life-changing podcasts! 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an update! 📝 SHOW NOTES Subscribe now to receive the show notes directly in your inbox with each new episode.
