Ep 344 When did Jesus Leave the Government? ft. Pastor Anthony McDaniel

Are traditional Judeo-Christian values being striped away from American culture? It sure seems that way.

Even more to the point, does it feel like Jesus is being removed from our culture one school, one business and one person at a time?

Today on Strong By Design, hosts Jared Haley and Chris Wilson speak with Pastor Anthony McDaniel about some truly sobering topics. If you want real talk, you are getting it in massive doses in this episode!

Anthony believes that he must stand for what is right and true. He is known as the ‘Patriot Pastor’ on social media “engaging culture through the lens of scripture.” From the school board to abortion to divorce, Pastor Anthony is leading the fight to restore America’s Godly foundations.

"We have a rise in mega churches and large churches, and Christianity's in major decline." - Pastor Anthony McDaniel
