Looking For Hope in a Post-Christendom World - With Greg Boyd & Adam Dyer

07/11/23 • 50 min

Adam Dyer, our brand new Jesus Collective Executive Director, sits down with Greg Boyd for a conversation about hope in a post-Christendom context. Adam and Greg explore how the rapid changing context of a post-Christendom culture is actually a good thing because it provides space for people to embrace an authentic faith, instead of simply acquiescing to the common shared trend of the larger culture. If the church is going to bring the gospel of Jesus, we must offer a life that stands in contrast because a polarized church has little to say to a polarized world. Adam shares some stories of hope from his own context as a pastor of Yeovil Community Church in England. And how he and his Church discovered that when Jesus is at the centre we find ourselves working against the polarization of our age by sharing life with others who see things in differing ways.

How Does A Bigger, King Jesus-Centered Gospel Connect With Our Secular Culture?

When we tell a reduced Gospel story, we get reduced results. In this podcast, we sit down with Matthew Bates as he shares his latest book, "Why the Gospel?". Matthew helps us see how the Gospel is a bigger story than personal salvation or forgiveness. The Gospel is a larger story based on Jesus the King who is the ultimate answer to our more profound questions about ourselves, God, and our world. If we are going speak to the deep longings of our secular post-modern culture, we need to tell a bigger story, a story with Jesus at the center.
