Summary
In this episode, Scott and Brandon discuss the authority of Scripture in the context of modern social media influences, particularly TikTok.

They provide practical steps for reclaiming Scripture as the ultimate authority in life and encourage listeners to engage deeply with the Word of God while navigating cultural shifts and political conversations with their children.
