501 Years & Counting - God's Grace Continues

We look back at 501 years of reform with Pastor Jonathan Meraz as he helps us consider whether Martin Luther was an academic with a conscience or a rebellious priest. This week marks 501 years since Luther requested a discussion on 95 considerations, but the debate continues. What motivated Luther? Who was he? What was the context of his environment? 
In this wide-ranging discussion, we look at judgment, science, social media, and more!
