The Gospel Media CollaborativeAre Nevada's Reopening plans treating churches and secular gatherings unequally? (Discussion featuring Attorney Juan Miguel Sclafani)In Nevada, while businesses have been limited to 50 percent of their fire-code capacities, houses of worship have been subject to a flat 50-person attendance limit.

The Gospel Media CollaborativeThree Misconceptions that Confound Belief in ChristianityIn a prelude to an investigation of modern secular culture, John examines Mark, chapter ten, the account of Jesus' conversation with the "Rich, Young Ruler". From this, he exposes three common misconceptions that confound a true understanding of Jesus Christ and Christianity: 1) Christ-as-a-good-teacher identity, 2) the meritocratic mindset, and 3) Christianity--ultimately--as a "way to heaven". As demonstrated in the text, although these fallacies go back to Antiquity, they are just as prevalent in Modernity and especially in our own hyper-secularized society.

The Gospel Media CollaborativeThe Implications of Social Justice (Discussion featuring Attorney Juan Miguel Sclafani)Although its conceptual origins can be traced back to the 19th century, the term "Social Justice" seemed to enter the nation's vernacular over only the last few decades. Today, it is all but ubiquitous, but its connotations are at times abstract and vary by context. What about in the context of Christianity? Lamentably, the meaning of Social Justice within the church seems no less splintered; evangelical groups, denominations, and leaders dig in their heels to either defend its sanctity or cast it out as something already implicit to the faith and subverting the primacy of Christ. In a conversation...

The Gospel Media CollaborativeSubmission and Resistance in Political Matters (Discussion featuring Pastor Jordan Hall)Following the murder of George Floyd, the nation plunged into a period of sustained dissent and protest led by the banner of the organization Black Lives Matter. What followed was a complex admixture of civil demonstrations, marches, occupations, looting, arson, and demands for the removal of statues and the defunding of major metropolitan police departments. While many leaders draw comparisons to the Civil Rights era, others say our modern cultural moment is far more vitriolic and destructive. In conversation with Jordan Hall, Lead Pastor of Trinity Church in San Francisco, John discusses how Christians may be able to discern...
