Episode 1: What Is the Gospel? — Faith For U Today: Theology for Everyday Life
We’re excited to share the very first episode of the Faith For U Today: Theology for Everyday Life podcast!
In this opening conversation, our hosts Sawyer and Lauren dive deep into one of the most important questions of the Christian faith — What exactly is the Gospel?
So many people hear the word “Gospel” and think it simply means “good news.” But what is that good news, and why does it matter so much for how we live today? Sawyer draws from his background in theology and ministry to explain how the Gospel isn’t just about forgiveness or going to heaven — it’s about the life-changing story of God’s love, redemption, and grace through Jesus Christ.
Lauren, with her thoughtful questions and down-to-earth curiosity, helps unpack how the Gospel connects to real life — from struggles with identity and purpose to understanding why God’s love transforms everything we do.
Together, they explore:
- What the word “Gospel” really means in Scripture
- Why it’s more than a message — it’s a relationship
- How the Gospel reshapes how we see God, ourselves, and others
- What it means to live out the Gospel every day
This first episode sets the tone for the entire series — making theology simple, clear, and deeply relevant for your walk with Christ. Whether you’re new to faith or have followed Jesus for years, you’ll walk away with a renewed sense of what it means to truly believe the Good News.
