At the Southern Baptist Convention last month, Whitney Clayton (pastor at The Bridge Community Church in Wilder, KY) hosted a conversation with me, Eric Geiger, and Matt Capps, who works with me on The Gospel Project.
We discussed the rise of “gospel-centered” terminology within evangelicalism, how the gospel relates to God’s commands, and how we can better serve and empower our churches by displaying the glory of Christ.
