A Rebel's Manifesto (with Sean McDowell)

Following Jesus has never been harder. In a culture that glamorizes sex, chases fame, and shames those who dont fall in line, it takes a rebel to be a Christian.

In today's interview, Sean McDowell sits down with host Jerrad Lopes to encourage and inspire a generation of rebels who will dare to stand up to the madness in a just and loving manner.

“We have to be living in a way that our kids find compelling.”
- Sean McDowell
