Dr. Constantine Campbell, author of Jesus v. Evangelicals, a biblical critique of a wayward movement,

truly follow the example of Jesus. I'm so excited to share this podcast with you, but first I'd

In your ministry or business, your reputation is your most valuable asset.

Instead of covering up wrongdoing, you investigate it.
