The Gospel According To Podcast

By TGAT

The Gospel According To... is the first and only podcast looking at the intersection of faith and pop culture and Christian faith. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John have their own versions of the Gospel, but it doesn't belong to them it's just according to them. Here on The Gospel According To Podcast, we'll be looking for the good news of Jesus Christ in some unlikely places and uncovering some false gospels we easily believe along the way.
