The Naked Gospel

The Naked Gospel

The Naked Gospel explores what it means for humans to be sexed image bearers who are made by a relational God. To that end, we have candid and raw discussions about relationships, sexual ethics, theology, pornography, sex trafficking, singleness, marriage, and everything in between.

The Christian life isn't always straight forward. What does it mean to experience God? How important is Scripture? Is truth more about knowing facts or knowing a person? Can we really say we've been saved from sin if we continue to sin? Why does it sometimes seem so hard to follow God? Theologian, Don Love, joins us to answer these questions and more!
