Once a year we release a short video letting you all know why we're here and what our vision is. The Naked Gospel is a podcast but we also video record all of these interviews and make them available on Youtube. Check out the Youtube channel and subscribe to help other people become aware of these conversations!  Most of what we do is interview cultural thinkers and authors to better understand what it looks like to follow Jesus with our bodies, our relationships, and our sexuality. Occasionally we release a video like this one, which we call a Dispatch. Each Dispatch runs for under 10 minutes and we use this time to inform you all about things happening in the culture around us — such as the Ravi Zacharias scandal. Christians have long neglected these kinds of raw conversations and we're all paying the price for it, as we see hook up culture invade the Church, pornography infest our lives, marriages broken apart, and abuse take place in the lives of those we love. Our hope is to normalize these kinds of conversations amongst our friends, communities, churches so that we can know the redemption Jesus lived and died to give us.  Stand with us as we fight by joining the Disruptor Initiative and continue to share these conversations with the community around you! Support the show
