In one of our top two most popular episodes from season one, Pastor J.D. explains that the gospel must be of first importance, both empowering and informing the church. Enjoy this re-broadcast from Ask Me Anything. Season 2 begins this September.

A glimpse inside this episode:

I actually wrote a book about this, called Above All.

In fact, Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15 that the gospel is of “first importance.” First importance means other things are important, too. But this is of first importance. This means the gospel is what should characterize us

Is that really new, though? Aren’t churches already doing this?

Churches haven’t stopped saying they believe the gospel. But many churches are looking elsewhere for the source of their renewal.
