Finding Contentment in Christ: Insights from Brian Bales and Jim Supp

The Christian Outlook - July 27, 2024

Tim Clinton talks with author Joel Rosenberg about how the world appears to be spinning out of control, citing increased social and political tensions, international conflicts, and the recent assassination attempt on President Trump.

Greg Seltz and Tim Head, Executive Director of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, discuss the Christian response to current political leadership, and the importance of faith, confidence, and wisdom amid perceived chaos. They criticize Vice President Kamala Harris' lack of competence and express concern about the current political dynamics and decision-making processes in the U.S. government.

Owen Strachan reflects on the heroism of Corey Comperatore, who died protecting his family at the Butler, PA Trump rally, and draws a parallel to the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, encouraging Christians to teach their children about heroism and to use such acts of selflessness to point to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ for humanity's redemption. 

Brian Bales and Jim Supp, Senior Teaching Pastor of Reston Bible Church in Dulles, Virginia, discuss the concept of contentment from a Christian perspective, and the difference between being content with God's provisions and desiring more.
