Joel and Stu continue their tour throughout history and evangelism, with a particular focus on the 1950s. By looking at the legacy of famous evangelicals of time such as Billy Graham, John Stott, J.I. Packer and others bolster the argument that evangelicals, who make Jesus and the gospel their main focus, hold a continuous line throughout history from Christendom onwards.
We also answer a question from Leonie, sent in via our Discord server.
