I sit down with Chase Davis to discuss his life as a Red letter Christian. Chase pastors a church in Boulder, CO and writes and podcasts often. He is a husband and father and seeks to bring the truth of the gospel to a very secular world. @JchaseDavis on – Twitter and on YouTube –   @fullprooftheology  

Richard's first sermon from the book of Galatians. The book of Galatians is Paul's first letter and is the most prescient and timely for the modern church. WHAT IS THE GOSPEL? It sounds passé and over done, but sadly it is not. The gospel of Christ is for everyone, believer and unbeliever.

Welcome to this thought-provoking episode of Contra Talk where we dive in to the Southern Baptist Convention, American church culture, and the challenges of leadership in today's society. Joining me today is Dr. Mark Coppenger, an esteemed theologian and cultural commentator, to shed light on the pressing issues facing the SBC and the broader American church. We'll explore the complex landscape of theological debates, internal divisions, and cultural clashes that have given rise to critical questions about the church's role in the modern world, resolution 9 being a scam, covid and how it was used by many in and outside the church among many other things. Dr. Coppenger will also address the significance of strong, principled men, emphasizing the importance of doing what is right when conviction is needed most. So, fasten your seatbelts as we embark on a journey through the intricate dynamics of Christian faith, culture, and moral courage in the 21st century with our distinguished guest, Dr. Mark Coppenger.
