Something is wrong with the American church. Is it too woke? Too aligned with Christian nationalism? Or is the problem deeper and more theological? Matthew Bates, author of Why the Gospel, believes so, arguing that today’s American church possesses a fundamental misunderstanding of the Gospel itself. Today, he explains more in his conversation with Patrick, answering: What is the true Gospel message? Why is it “Good News,” even for the “nones” and “dones” of today’s age? What are the malformed Gospel messages that we’ve fallen for? How would our lives change if we adapted this true interpretation of the Gospel? Plus, he shares why a correct understanding of the Gospel helps to reclaim a Christian’s active role in social and political action. Listen now!
