Welcome to Gospel Truth with Andrew Wamek, celebrating 25 years of sharing God's unconditional love and grace on television.

The difference with Keras is the discipleship factor. It's not just a bunch of head knowledge, but Andrew teaches us how to bring God's word down into our lives to apply it. And it's taught me to build
