What is the problem with unbelievers?

Author: Mark Farnham July 23, 2025 Duration: 24:07

Why don’t so many people believe the gospel? What do they need from Christians to believe? In this episode, Mark and Jeff go to Scripture to get an accurate view of the spiritual condition of unbelievers in order to discover what it takes to bring them to Christ.They place evidence, arguments, and emotion in their proper place as tools that the Holy Spirit uses to open the eyes to see one’s sin and guilt and to see Christ as the only Savior.
