Authenticity and vulnerability aren't words that people often associate with the church, especially in the age of celebrity pastors and their seemingly inevitable scandals. Evangelicals have especially been the target of critiques regarding inauthenticity. In some ways, perhaps these are well needed critiques. In this video, I'm sitting down with Pastor Carl Kuhl of Mosaic Christian Church to discuss what the Evangelical church can and should be, how it can lead with vulnerability, and help people experience real transformation. In doing so, Carl critiques what he calls the new "Emotional Prosperity" gospel and calls for real vulnerability and honesty in the church.

About Gospel Simplicity:

Gospel Simplicity began as a YouTube channel in a Moody Bible Institute dorm. It was born out of the central conviction that the gospel is really good news, and I wanted to share that with as many people as possible. The channel has grown and changed over time, but that central conviction has never changed. Today, we make content around biblical and theological topics, often interacting with people from across the Christian tradition with the hope of seeking greater unity and introducing people to the beautiful simplicity and transformative power of the gospel, the good news about Jesus.

About the host:

Hey! My name is Austin, and I'm a 23 year old guy who’s passionate about the beautiful simplicity and transformative power of the gospel. I believe that the gospel, the good news about Jesus, is really good news, and I’m out to explore, unpack, and share that good news with as many people as possible. I'm a full blown Bible and Church History nerd that loves getting to dialogue with others about this, learning as much as I can, and then teaching whatever I can. I grew up around Frederick, MD where I eventually ended up working my first job at a church. They made the mistake of letting me try my hand at teaching, and instantly I fell in love. That set me on a path for further education, and I'm currently a student at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, IL, studying theology. On any given day you can find me with my nose in a book or a guitar in my hands. Want to get to know me more? Follow me and say hi on Instagram at: @austin.suggs
