On this week’s episode, Brian and Chris join Brian Dembowczyk, the Managing Editor of The Gospel Project. The three tackle the following questions: 

* “Gospel” is a buzzword right now in the church world. What does it mean to be “gospel-centered”?

* How does failing to study Scripture as one gospel story lead to moralism?

* How does a group leader help create a “gospel culture” in a small group?

* Is it important to know how all Scripture points back to Jesus? How can a small group leader consistently do that during discussions?

* What is different about The Gospel Project curriculum? What is coming for The Gospel Project this fall?
