What does it really mean to be a Christian witness? Is it about convincing other people to believe what we believe—or could Jesus have meant something very different? In this sermon, we explore what it means to live a public faith in a time when Christianity is often tangled up with politics, power, and Christian nationalism. Through Jesus’ call to be “salt of the earth” and “light of the world,” we discover that our most compelling witness may not be the words we say, but the lives we lead.
