You Tube Theology

Everybody wants to know the secret of “reaching the next generation”, but as many anxious parents know there’s many obstacles to teens maintaining their faith into college. This leads to books helping teens reconcile science with faith, understand modern issues about sexuality, or offer historic apologetics for the resurrection. All of these matter, but they’re insufficient for the task at hand. Brad East joins us to talk about his book Letters to a Future Saint, a collection of letters designed to engage young minds with the history of the faith, the importance of the church, the significance of creation, and the testimony of the martyrs. Along the way we talk about ways a truncated gospel undermines our faith in Christ and sets up students for failure.

That’ll Preach connects the world of scholars, theologians, and pastors to every day people through conversation and dialogue.
