## Resource

When another Christian falls in a big way on the public stage, what is the responsibility of the broader Christian community? Do we have an obligation to respond right away and offer our perspective? And what is the Christian perspective? Do we do it publicly or privately? How do we handle the unfortunate moral failings of our brothers and sisters in the faith in a way that still offers a Christian witness that ultimately glorifies Christ? Francis Chan has weighed in on a major event, and in today's episode the guys explore a biblical approach to responding to the events of our time. After laying that groundwork, Sam, John, and Ron weigh in on Francis Chan's stance and run it through the broader scriptural witness. Tune in to today's episode of the After Class Podcast and see if your gut reactions align with what Scripture calls us to be as witnesses.
