Evangelical. It used to be understood as a term that referred to people with a commitment to the gospel. Today, it has transformed into a trigger word for those outside of the Christian faith. Evangelical has become a conservative, political position, steeping Christianity deep into an identity crisis. Simply put, the world doesn’t know evangelical Christians for the gospel.
Dr. Mark Young, President of Denver Seminary, launched The Gospel Initiative to help the church engage with difficult questions in ways that commend the gospel with compassion and credibility.

All of these questions and more unpacked on this episode of Christian Curious.
