Every week I hear from confused and concerned Christians. They can’t keep up with an ever-growing array of confusing and polarizing issues. They want less heat and more light. They want to stay focused on the gospel. They want to put their faith into action. They want to care. But they don’t know who to trust.

The Gospel Coalition serves the church by producing timely content that grapples with some of the most pressing issues of our time. I’m praying that our new Good Faith Debates will do just that. Later this week we’re releasing the first of a five-part video debate series featuring prominent Christian thinkers discussing some of the most divisive issues facing the church today—ranging from gun control to woke churches to abortion to racial injustice to evangelical self-identity.

The moderator of these debates is my friend Jim Davis, teaching pastor at Orlando Grace Church and host of the As in Heaven podcast. He is a brave and wise soul, as you’ll see in these videos. He joined me on Gospelbound to discuss what surprised him, what helped him as a pastor, and whether he changed his mind on anything, among other issues.

You might be exhausted by debate. But disagreeing well is essential to ensuring that we’re truly united around Jesus and not around a cultural or political agenda.
