We also conclude with a thought about the Jesus that makes it all possible. The post The Surprising Jesus And The Story of Self-Justification appeared first on New Persuasive Words.

In<br /> our first episode, Scott Jones converses with the Director of Mockingbird, David Zahl, about the content of their weekly roundup post “The Weekender”. Mockingbird seeks to connect the Christian faith with the realities of everyday life in fresh and down-to-earth ways. The name was inspired by the mockingbird’s peculiar gift for mimicking the cries of other birds. In a similar way, Mockingbird seeks to repeat the message we have heard – God’s word of grace and forgiveness. In Scott’s words, Mockingbird is all about “a grace infused and grace entranced spirit of Christian cosmopolitanism.” The post The Mockingcast Premiere Episode appeared first on New Persuasive Words.
