Summary
🔥 Episode Overview In this episode, Dave and Dante tackle one of the biggest cultural and spiritual questions facing Christian men today: Should our faith influence our political decisions — or should religion stay out of politics?

Philippians 3:20 – Our heavenly citizenship guiding our earthly condu…
