Welcome to episode seven of this second season of Transforming Culture! We're hearing from Sunder Krishnan this week about what it looks like to follow Jesus in light of the suffering of others, and particularly: what do we do with this thing called "the social gospel"? Is that even a thing? What does Jesus have to say about it? Listen in to his session from summer 2023 at MBC and a short Q&A afterwards!
