We continue our conversation on radical, Christian love by talking with musician and song-writer, John Mark McMillan. Known for songs like, “How He Loves,” John Mark McMillan shares his thoughts on the important topic of how Christians should represent Christ’s love in the Church. We’ll discuss the challenge of connecting deeply with others who see the world differently and ask tough questions like: Are Christians losing sight of the radical love Jesus calls us to? Does cancel-culture have a place within Jesus' church? Should a Christian strive to have a soft heart toward every single person? These questions and more with John Mark McMillan.

Pastor Kristin Mockler Young from Mosaic Church (Charlotte, NC) shares her thoughts on this important topic. Does cancel culture have a place within Jesus' church? Should a Christian strive to have a soft heart toward every single person? These questions and more with Pastor Kristin.

Mike Cosper of Christianity Today has recently released a book, Land of My Sojourn: The Landscape of a Faith Lost and Found, which focuses on his painful experience of leaving local church ministry and the grace that restored his faith. The book stems from Mike’s experience with church hurt and his doubts about the goodness of the Church. Through it all, Mike has found a sense of peace and has learned a valuable life lesson–one he is still learning from.

Today, Mike talks about his book, reflects on scriptural testimonies, and answers questions about church culture. He also shares his thoughts on his podcast series that exposes the downfall of a church leader, and where he currently stands on matters of faith and life.
