What Harrison Butker and Football Teach Us About Right and Wrong

Were Harrison Butker's bold statements during his recent Benedictine College commencement speech worth all of the public backlash he received in response? Although many are now hailing the Super Bowl winning NFL kicker as a hero for speaking up, others are calling for him to be fired from the league altogether. What exactly did he say that caused so much outrage and what biblical truths can we gather from the controversial (and now viral) speech? For this midweek podcast, Frank unpacks Harrison Butker's words from a biblical worldview and highlights how Butker called out some of the lies, harmful ideologies, and inconsistencies that our culture and national leaders have been feeding us. During this podcast episode, Frank will answer questions like: Does the book of James teach salvation by works? What does the game of football teach us about morality? Do Christians always have to be "nice" in order to be loving? Did Jesus ever engage in politics? How is Joe Biden "neglecting the weightier matters of the law"? Are biblical gender roles oppressive to women? Is comfort the true meaning of life? What are the pros and cons of becoming a Christian?   Later in the episode, Frank will share his own personal experience of being canceled in corporate America due to writing his book 'Correct, Not Politically Correct: About Same-Sex Marriage and Transgenderism' and how it launched him into ministry full-time. He'll also talk about the importance of being willing to speak up (like Butker) as a means to fight back against cancel culture and to illustrate TRUE love, even if it comes at a cost.
