The Bible has no spin, and Mark Edwards preaches from the rawest verse in it, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me. He names what most of us pretend does not happen.

Most of us have asked why am I here, sometimes in a meeting, sometimes in a church car park.

A doctor has to tell us the truth or it is malpractice, and Ryan Germain says the same goes for the church. Orthodoxy means right belief, but right belief on its own is not enough.

The worst altar call ever would be honest about the target on our back.
