Many Christians—especially young Christians stepping into a world and a church devastated by division, scandal, and abuse—are asking the question: "What is the gospel?" and deciding that the gospel is not good news. For many, it seems like our faith has little to offer the world around us. Our gospel has become too small—it looks nothing like the Jesus who embodies good news in the flesh. But what if we could re-discover the radical power of a Jesus-shaped Good News that upends religions, disrupts empires, heals the wounded, and empowers the marginalized? Join us as we chat with Jonny Morrison about his new book "Prodigal Gospel" which helps us get lost and found again in the Good News.
