About this episode
Jordan Raynor sits down with John Mark Comer, Author of Live No Lies, to talk about why he is passing the baton of leadership at his church after 18 years, the difference between thinking about Scripture and THINKING scripture, and how and why to read the gospels as biographies of the life of Christ.
