It’s an honor to have Robert Jeffress on the podcast this week. He’s a pastor, author, radio host, and televangelist leading a large church in Dallas, Texas. Robert started to notice a decline in Christians embracing the basic doctrines of the Christian faith. So he look back at the ten doctrines that Christianity stood on and decided to write What Every Christian Should Know as a guide through those doctrines. It’s such a valuable resource, and I’m glad we got a chance to talk more about it. We talked not only about the process of writing the book, but some of the things that stood out to Robert in a new way. Robert also gives a little preview into his book as we talk more in depth about the core doctrines of Christianity.
