Video: The Explicit Gospel Tour with Matt Chandler

You think you know it. But then again, maybe you don't.

In mid-April, Matt Chandler and Shane and Shane traveled to six locations on the Explicit Gospel Tour. If you didn't have the opportunity to attend, above you'll find the intro video to his talk, followed by footage from the event in Orlando. Inspired by the needs of both the overchurched and the unchurched, and bolstered by the common neglect of the explicit gospel within Christianity, Chandler walks through Colossians 1:13-23, calling us to marvel in the good news of what God has done.
