As Christians we have real hope in Jesus that we have been called to share with others But how we share that hope makes a difference In a world that rejects everything we believe we face a dilemma how do we walk closely with God without caving in to pressure or alienating those we want to reach? In this six-session video Bible study Chris Hodges looks at the lives of both Daniel & Jesus showing how we can stand for our biblical beliefs without being hostile or insulting to others We can stand up for God's truth in a morally corrupt culture-while still loving others-because the goal is never about winning the argument but about winning hearts As Jesus demonstrated when we connect with others before we correct them we can handle the hard questions without compromising God's grace or truth Chris offers fresh insights & practical ideas to encourage Christians struggling with their cultural reality to hold God's standards high & to keep his grace deep-just as Jesus did & just as his followers today are called to do The Daniel Dilemma Study Guide
