Faith In Action
Faith In Action is a production of Conservative Christians of Tennessee (CCOT). We exist to communicate conservative Christian principles and help people to grow in their walk with God. We believe all of this universe, including culture, is the Lord’s. We are working to promote, educate, and grow biblical Christian principles in all areas of life. CCOT’s primary focus is on issues in Tennessee but often those topics are national and international in scope. Our weekly radio show Faith in Action is broadcast on all the BOTT Radio Network stations in the Tennessee area. The show can also be heard online anytime at: https://bottradionetwork.com/ministry/faith-in-action/

This week, Matthew and Shawn talk with Pastor Nate Xanders about the recent report on female leaders in the PCA. The report found numerous churches in the PCA are putting women into positions and with titles that are very clearly contrary to the traditional PCA standards.

This week, Matthew and Shawn talk with Daniel Keene about how the Trails Church threw his family out for the ridiculous “sin” of not wanting America to look like a heathen nation. We have seen many church discipline cases that were really just abuse of church members — but this one really takes the cake.
