Season: 22 Episode: 305
Summary
In this episode, Shanda sits down with George Shamblin, author of The Four Faces of Christ, for a fascinating look at the gospels and the unique portraits of Jesus revealed by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each gospel writer highlights a different facet of Christ – together giving us a fuller, richer understanding of who He is.
Shanda and George unpack why the gospels complement rather than contradict one another, how their distinct emphases point us to the same Savior, and why seeing Christ through these four “faces” deepens our worship and strengthens our faith.
If you’ve ever wondered why we need four gospels, what each writer reveals about Jesus, and how these perspectives shape our view of Him today, you won’t want to miss this conversation.
