In this episode of the Processing Podcast, Pastor Kirk is joined by pastors Josiah and Connor for a conversation on the 4th of July, patriotism, and what it means to be grateful for America while keeping Christ and His kingdom first. Together, they reflect on American freedom, unity, the responsibility Christians have to live as a witness, and how the return of Christ should create urgency, righteousness, and eager anticipation rather than fear or escapism. The conversation also touches on John Bevere’s message, confession and obedience, public faith in sports and culture, and why believers should live ready for the King who is coming.
