Welcome to the twenty-fifth episode of Equipping You in Grace. Each week I have conversations with Christian authors and thought leaders for the purpose of helping Christians develop a biblical worldview in a conversational tone about issues inside and outside the Church. This week, I’m joined by Dr. Dane Ortlund, author of Edwards on the Christian Life: Alive to the Beauty of God.
