Exposing Pseudo-Obedience: Rick Peterson on Spiritual Gaslighting
Unless we have a gospel, the gospel, the apostolic gospel- by that I mean the gospel that produces life, the gospel that gives life, reconciliation and wholeness to lost and broken people, then we don't have the gospel, we have some other pseudo gospel.
