121: Social Justice and the Simple Church

A few months ago, a controversial document was created by certain evangelicals warning of the potential pitfalls of the modern social justice movement.

Opponents of this statement claim that social justice is a huge part of what it is to be a Christian in a fallen world. Listen as Gavin and Tom weigh in on the discussion.
