It's Episode 87 of That Jesus Podcast and we finally got around to talking about Jesus! In this edition of the show, Titus struggles to describe some misgivings he has about how much Christians talk a lot about issues relating to Jesus and his church but often seem to miss centering on Jesus himself. 

Is social media the greatest tool for evangelism since Pentecost? Is it shallow noise that makes us feel good about being connected without making a difference? Or, in the words of Titus, is social media the devil? Joash Thomas knows a thing or two about social media and he joins Dru to answer this question once and for ALL. Or, at least share some deep yet practical insight on the topic.  Don't m...

Also dis...
