Is the Gospel Still Good News Today? - With Jonny Morrison

Rethinking Faith

This week Jonny Morrison joins the podcast to talk about his new book "Prodigal Gospel: Getting Lost and Found Again in the Good News". Too often the Gospel is presented in ways that doesn't really sound like good news... Our gospel has become too small, looks nothing like Jesus, and for good reasons people are leaving the so called good news behind. Is there a better way to talk about the Gospel that passes the vibe check of love? How do we recover the Gospel so it rings true and good today? Johnny turns to the story of the Prodigal Son, but not in ways you might think, to address this issue at hand. Not going to lie, I was nervous for this one but I had a lot of fun with Jonny. Enjoy.
