Mixed Bag
A broken man meeting Christ who ends up helping other broken men and women. Mark was trying his best. He sounds like he has trauma with his great distrust. He needed accountability and pushed it away. The show is anti-Calvinism, anti-masculinity. It started so strong with the polemic on mega churches and ended with a theological bent. Scott McKnight, Russel Moore, and the like want to leave Reformational truth. The Joshua Harris was interesting but the interviews were mostly one sided (besides Colin Hanson). Hyper-masculinity is not a John Wayne and Jesus problem, it is a male issue. Andrew Tate and the like. Young men need healthy masculinity modeled and Jesus is the god-guy for them! Jesus is gangsta with his diatribes (Matt. 23) and no fear mentality (Calming storms, facing mobs and kings). He was the paradoxical kind and strong. It will be interesting to what CT does next…
