What is the Gospel? | Preaching the Gosp...

Practicing the Way
About this episode

“A lot of us are emotionally allergic to preaching the Gospel of Jesus.”

In our post-modern culture, sharing the good news of Jesus can feel insensitive or unkind. John Mark shows us that everyone is believing a “gospel” of what they hope in, and through the Scriptures, unpacks how Jesus preached the Gospel and what it means to rethink and turn towards Jesus.
