In a recent interview with Lecrae, Matt Chandler talks about politics, celebrity pastors, mega churches, and ministry. He seems older, more haggard, exhausted from the last few years. He's not the young vibrant Matt Chandler from pre-2020. Jon examines why Chandler's tone and posture have changed even though his perspectives don't seem to have. Jon then critiques Chandler's theology and challenges the soteriology and public theology that seems to undergird both Matt Chandler and organizations like The Gospel Coalition and Acts29.

Dr. Samuel Smith and Dr. Carey Roberts join the Conversations That Matter Podcast to discuss the legacy of the Puritans in America, specifically their contribution to social and political dynamics. Dr. Smith recently appeared in the 1607 Project where he criticized the way American Puritans set up their society in New England while also praising their theology. What should Americans think of the Puritans? Most historical surveys credit them with founding the United States and in Christian circles they are deeply revered. Was their impact as significant as its portrayed today or is there another narrative in which Southern Anglicans and Presbyterians played a more significant role in contrast to the Puritans? Find out answers to these questions and more!
