Challenges Facing the Protestant Church Part 1

from TGC Podcast · host Brad Edwards, Gavin Ortlund, Jared C. Wilson, Brett McCracken

In part 1 of this session from TGC25, three speakers address critical weaknesses in our discipleship that cause believers to drift from the gospel. They provide a defense of Protestantism and give compelling reasons to rediscover the church’s beauty. Jared C. Wilson talks about the danger of assuming gospel centrality rather than cherishing it. Gavin Ortlund talks about the desire, especially felt by young men, for assurance and depth, and he explains how the Protestant Church can provide these things. Brad Edwards considers how to address the modern assumption that the church is inherently harmful. Part 2 will include Q&A with the panelists. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
