Our kids inhale far too much demeaning smog through social media and the current vibe in our country today.

Can We No Longer Trust Our Eyes?
Our call as followers of Jesus is to see the truth through him, not through our political preferences or powerful leaders—but through him. He’s the one who removes the scales from our eyes so that we can trust what we are seeing and tell the truth.
