A Closer Look
Culture At A Crossroads Season 3, Episode 1
Culture At A Crossroads returns with Village Church lead pastor Mark Clark. Mark is the author of The Problem of God and, most recently, The Problem of Jesus.
Pastoring arguably Canada's fastest growing church, Mark shares one of his biggest secrets to preparing sermons that speak to Canadians of all different backgrounds.
Mark expands on why Jesus used stories to crack open people's worldview, and he challenges Christians to stop being so fixed on from having everything explained to them.
And, he shares his favourite movies, and makes a case for why Jesus would be working in the film industry if he were in the world today.
