Being Human with Steve Cuss

Is the Gospel Preventative or Redemptive?


Listen Later

Is the gospel primarily preventative or redemptive? What did Jesus emphasize between the two? 

In this episode of Being Human, Steve is joined by his wife, the Friendly Neighborhood Therapist, Lisa, to consider these questions. They talk about faith gaps, how human development affects the ways we approach faith, and comparing ourselves to the pillars of the faith.

Cuss also reads from his upcoming book, The Expectation Gap, which releases on May 28th. Listeners can preorder here. Get your preorder bonuses here!
