SUMMARY: In this episode, Brian and Chris speak with Aaron Armstrong, the brand manager for The Gospel Project at Lifeway. Aaron shares how studying theology, the starting point for The Gospel Project curriculum, can heighten a group’s awareness of the impact of the gospel in every facet of our lives and can change the focus of a group’s discussion in several significant ways. In addition, Brian, Chris, and Aaron discuss their strategies for reading widely and efficiently on the topics of ministry, leadership, and social and cultural issues.
