What is the gospel? Why is it important? Why we should share it? What the gospel is NOT. The rich theology of the gospel, and personal gospel stories shared and discussed by church members and pastors. We also have interviews with pastors and church leaders, as well as Song Sessions to explore old, and new, hymnity.

Pastor Sessions: Dr. Jon Anderson, Grace Immanuel Bible Church, and The Expositors Seminary
Dr. Jon Anderson shares his heart on discipleship and other topics. We caught up at a youth summer camp where Jon was the guest speaker. We recorded the interview in an empty chapel (hence the echo from time to time!) I am sure that you will be blessed by the wisdom of Dr. Jon Anderson.
