Episode 232 | Olympics Opening Ceremony Issue with Darryl Wootton 

Aug 6, 2024 | Conversations with Trailblazers, Hot Topics

We all watched the blatant blasphemy during the opening ceremony of the Olympics. In spite of what some are trying to say, it was absolutely offensive to Christians. Social media was buzzing with people wanting to weigh in on it. One of the best responses came from Dr. Darryl Wootton, pastor and leader in Oklahoma. His response has been shared almost ten thousand times on Facebook. I wanted to have a conversation with him about his strong, yet gracious response. He lays out the truth of why it was offensive, challenges us to acknowledge no other religion would have been ridiculed in this way, yet in the end, he brings the focus back to our mission as Christians, which is to help people know Christ. Pastor Alex and Dr. Darryl had a good discussion.
