I Have Some Good News! Pt. 1

The Gospel is more than just the account of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection. Those events are central, but when the Gospel is reduced only to that, it becomes a truncated Gospel. As Dallas Willard pointed out, the Gospel is not simply the minimum entrance requirement to get into heaven. He was also critical of teaching that reduced it to ‘fire insurance.’
A disciple-making movement embraces what Scot McKnight calls the robust Gospel. The robust Gospel addresses both the why and the what of Christ. It provides a foundation that exposes why Christian Nationalism is not from God. It also shows how Christ helps us face and overcome the dark history of Christianity’s role in slavery, discrimination, abuse, and other barriers that keep people in a post-Christian age from engaging with Christ and His Church.
This episode will challenge you to confront injustice and abuses of power, but it will also equip you to use the robust Gospel to reach those who are far from Christ.
