This week’s podcast is a beautiful conversation I had with my friend John Crowder about a pretty hot topic – Deconstruction. What is deconstruction? What does it mean? Why is it happening? And why is everyone so up in arms about it? And more importantly, how can we navigate through it with the love of
In the final episode of “The Secret Power of the Gospel,” we dive into righteousness…the righteousness of God we have in Christ.
