  • The Pope Said What?
    Sep 17 2024
    In this episode of Faith & Focus, Anthony Clemons examines controversial remarks made by Pope Francis at a recent interreligious meet suggesting all religions are valid paths to God.

He encourages listeners to scrutinize the soundness of doctrines preached by church leaders ensuring its alignment with scriptural teachings, promoting the importance of Bible literacy, respectful discussion, prayer for discernment, and strong biblical leadership in the face of movements like Moralistic Therapeutic Deism, and affirming the critical nature of Christ's unique role in salvation.
