Speaking In Tolerance with Sean McDowell [Podcast] | Trace Embry

True Freedom is not doing whatever we feel or want, but it’s having the capacity to do what is right by living according to God’s design.

In today’s post-modern and politically correct society that we live in, our kids are taught culturally a completely different definition of tolerance and intolerance than you were. Do you feel that we as parents tolerate our culture today? What do you feel is the difference between cultural tolerance and traditional tolerance?

Sean McDowell PHD is an assistant professor at Biola University in the MA Christian Apologetics program. Sean is also a Best Selling author of more than 15 books including The Beauty of Intolerance, which he co-wrote with his dad Josh McDowell.
