Summary

 
In Romans 1:16, the apostle Paul describes the gospel as “the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes.” But is that same gospel still powerful today? In this episode of the Just Thinking podcast, Darrell and Virgil discuss the story of Joe Bednarsky Jr., a former high-ranking member of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), and how the supernatural power of the gospel of Christ transformed his heart of stone, one that was filled to the depths with violence and hatred toward black people, into “a heart of flesh” (Eze. 36:26-27). Is the gospel still powerful today? Take a listen and find out.
