05 Tough Minds, Tender Hearts
God is forging a people whose minds are set on His truth, with hearts full of His love. Today, we are often tempted to bend the Word and the gospel to make it more acceptable to people, but God calls us to hold the line, maintaining the structural integrity of the gospel. In this session, Shaun Brauteseth urges saints to share the gospel properly and not to be moved when experiencing opposition or rejection. However, we are not to allow our hearts to become tough but rather become more tender in the way we love people, reflecting the person of Jesus.
