Episode 186: Stop Telling People to Preach the Gospel! Nov 14, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, Ben apologizes for rushing to judgment on an article that was shared on the podcast community page. The guys use this opportunity to talk about several key points that were made in response to Ben's comment. They ask, does the Gospel "work" with secular people? Is it arrogant to challenge people to share the Gospel, and is preaching the Gospel a unique calling, or something all believers should do?
