Read MoreEp. 083: The Gospel and Reformation
Sometimes we have the great privilege of having conversations with leaders on the other side of the world. This week we do. Director of Christian Heritage London, Ben Virgo, joins us this week as we chat about the Reformation and the impact the gospel had on the culture. Ben recently edited a new book called Freedom Movement. This small (shaped as a square) book is like a glorified tract (a tract is a small booklet that says the gospel – used to be very popular). Written by Church historian Michael Reeves, this book creatively explains the life of Martin Luther – one of the key figures of the Reformation. Our conversation looks into how the gospel impacts the culture (something Freedom Movement also looks at), and what still needs to be reformed today. You’ll enjoy this fun, fast-paced conversation.

Years ago now I (Isaac) got into a van with 12 college students and drove around the country. We were doing a service tour of different churches – providing a time of worshipping through music and preaching the Word. In Burlington, Ontario we stopped at a small church, and that’s where I met John Nathan. At the time, he was a pastor. Now, he’s the Ontario regional facilitator for The Gideons. I recently met up with him and we decided to have a conversation on evangelism in the 21st Century – and that’s what this is all about. In this conversation, John reminds us of the Holy Spirit’s role in salvation, how we need to be daily enjoying the gospel, and what we can do to grow in our zeal for sharing the good news.
