The Gospel is the good news of Christianity, but a quick glance at history reveals that not everything done in the name of Christianity has itself been good. In fact, some things that so-called Christians have done or been accused of doing are downright evil. How do we respond to these dark times in the history of the Church? How does the good that Christians have done in the world stand up against the atrocities? And what does it all mean for the truth of Christianity? In this episode, we don't shy away from the tough issues - we address them head on, but we also offer a meaningful response.
