The #1 Reason To Be Christian w/Gavin Ortlund | E313 Lila Rose Show

Gavin Ortlund's mission is to help bring the confidence and joy of the Gospel to as many people as possible. Today, Gavin and I sit down to discuss all things Christianity: whether CS Lewis would use YouTube, whether the Bible is the sole authority for Christians, and how to bring a spirit of unity to all theological conversations.
