Waves of Change Program
Waves of Change is designed to counter cries for change in the Church and to help young Christians understand where such change will lead. It is narrated by Kyle Butt and Stan Butt, Jr., and is intended to instruct young people in fundamental truths of God’s Word in a positive and balanced way and equip them to deal with many sinful trends assailing Churches of Christ. We pray that this will help those who use it to avoid being “tossed about with every wind of doctrine” and to effectively stand against these powerful waves of change.
