Steven Manuel and Mark Parrett discuss a long-standing social problem. With the latest Bud Light/Dylan Mulvaney kerfuffle, and with Target (and other retailers) rolling out the rainbows this summer… what is the Christian playbook on protesting and boycotting products and brands that violate our conscience? Is there any recourse to just complaining or demanding these companies change their policies or messaging? It’s a hot topic… and it ain’t going away. If you’re going to lead your family, you should have an answer to this question. AND… you should have a plan for how to build something stronger than the current cultural sentiment.
