About this episode

The episode discusses the true essence of the gospel and the church's mission to promote transformation through Jesus.

"Tagging Jesus' name on moralistic self-righteousness doesn't change what it is any more than dipping a chicken nugget in steak sauce makes it a ribeye. The gospel isn't: 'Apologize to Jesus, be better, and you'll go to heaven.' The gospel is: 'Renounce everything and Jesus will make you new!'" | Series: The Church's Mission
