Jonathan Dodson on How to Engage the Crises in Our Culture with the Goodness of the Beatitudes

Summary

We live in a contentious time with a constant swirl of crises, controversies, and divisions. Christians often get caught up in the cycle of outrage in our reactionary culture. However, if we look at Scripture, then we will discover that Jesus desires us to be salt and light in the midst of cultural crises. My guest on today’s show helps us to see how Jesus laid forth this vision in his Sermon on the Mount and how we can be empowered to live it out. His name is Jonathan Dodson and we discuss his latest book Our Good Crisis: Overcoming Moral Chaos with the Beatitudes.   Jonathan Dodson is the founding pastor of City Life Church in Austin, TX which he started with his wife, Robie, and a small group of people. They have three children. He is also the founder of gcdiscipleship.com and author of a number of books including Gospel-Centered Discipleship, Our Good Crisis, and The Unbelievable Gospel. He enjoys listening to The War on Drugs, reading sci-fi, and going for walks.   Check out the full show notes for highlights and resources from this episode: https://tinyurl.com/hexus35e   SUPPORT THIS PODCAST:   PayPal: https://paypal.me/AaronShamp?locale.x=en_US Venmo: @AaronShamp  Cash App: $AaronShamp     –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Track: Perseverance — Land of Fire [Audio Library Release] Music provided by Audio Library Plus Watch: https://youtu.be/Ue48lJLVA30​Free Download / Stream: https://alplus.io/perseverance​–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/filterpodcast/message
