Hi, this is John.

00:00:04

And today we're going to have a conversation that many of you are going to agree with.

00:00:08

There's something wrong with the modern Christian movement, or we would say the evangelical movement.

00:00:13

Something feels off.

00:00:15

And if you feel this way, I think this conversation is going to be helpful for you.

00:00:19

We talk about really a lot of the dangerous movements that happen within the broader evangelical church, where it came from, and is there a solution?

00:00:29

Do we dump the whole thing, or is there another option what we would point you to, which is a reformed professional option?

00:00:36

And in the members' podcast, we really explain where there's rest and hope can be found looking back to the historic teachings of Christianity that have been handed down to us.

00:00:46

We hope you enjoy the conversation.
