Listen in as Jonathan sits down for a genuine and real conversation with Bryon and Carla Weathersbee of Legacy Family Ministries, a couple who have dedicated their lives to helping married couples and those exploring marriage.


The Coming Tsunami with Dr. Jim Denison

Jonathan sits down with Dr. Jim Denison for a conversation on what Dr. Denison calls the Coming Tsunami - the rise of post truth culture, the rise of the sexual revolution, the rise of critical theory and the rise of secular religion.

 

As Dr. Denison describes the earthquakes beneath the surface of our day, he suggests how we as cultural missionaries in our homes and in our communities can respond with truth and love. He helps us learn to spot the lies in our world and stay focused on being beggars helping other beggars find bread.

 

Dr. Denison wrote an amazing new book. The Coming Tsunami: Why Christians Are Labeled Intolerant, Irrelevant, Oppressive, and Dangerous―and How We Can Turn the Tide. This book came from his passion regarding the culture and how we as Christians can protect our faith and redeem the brokenness and darkness that is in our world right now.
