| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the John Mark Comer Teachings podcast. I'm Strawn Coleman, your host and part of the teaching team here at practicing the way. |
| 0:15.0 | Each week on the podcast we share a teaching from John Mark or other trusted voices in the formation space. |
| 0:22.0 | In today's teaching, John Mark calls us again to believe in the |
| 0:26.8 | radical, profound and confronting reality that we confess, that Jesus is king, that he really does rule now and forever and that resurrection and the renewal of |
| 0:39.5 | creation is the end to which we are living. |
| 0:44.0 | As you listen, you may like to reflect on the Gospel you're really living. |
| 0:48.0 | Is it the Gospel of our culture or city, the anti-gosple, a kind of hopeless, nihilistic or fatalistic one, or the |
| 0:57.4 | Jesus Gospel. |

| 1:47.7 | wall, which I always think is a fascinating window into our cultural moment. |
| 1:51.6 | I was struck by a new book title by a local author actually. |
| 1:54.4 | It's a whopper of a title. Here it is. Anyone can paint their nails because gender is |
| 2:00.0 | imaginary. Everything is meaningless. Love is a myth, sex is gross, we all die alone and our stupid bodies will |
| 2:09.0 | soon return to the dust from whence they came by Jamie Wortara. Happy Easter everybody. |
| 2:17.0 | That's not, you know, exactly full of hope. Sounds a lot more like despair. and I say that not to mock it at all |
