What is an evangelical? And does that label even mean anything anymore? A couple weeks ago,

0:09.7

I sat down with Mike Reeves, president and professor of theology at Union School of Theology, to dig into just that question.

And today, I'm sitting down with him again so that he can answer some of your questions about the future of evangelicalism.

Listeners from around the world, from Texas to Australia to Kuwait, sent in questions
