Join us for a special episode of Engage Arizona as CAP President Peter Gentala and VP of Marketing & Communications Bob Trent sit down with John Stonestreet, President of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview and daily voice behind Breakpoint.

We dive into timely questions:

• How can Christians engage in public debates with both conviction and grace?
• What does it mean to be “ruthless with ideas but gentle with people”?
• How do we avoid tribalism while standing boldly for truth?

John also shares about the Colson Center’s new project, Truth Rising: a documentary and initiative produced with Focus on the Family. From cultural confusion to courageous voices like Jack Phillips and Chloe Cole, the film calls Christians to know what is true and to live it out with courage.
