Rebellion’s Influence
Pastor Jack unpacked the “triad of triads” that Jude uses in verses 11-13 to demonstrate how a rebellious heart influences others. Instead, we are to be good influencers, who are “moist”: models, orthodox, with integrity, sociable, and teachable. Listen to “Rebellion’s Influence” to learn more about these traits.
