Did Jesus and Paul preach the same gospel?  In this classic panel discussion recorded at TGC13, Don Carson, Kevin DeYoung, Tim Keller, and John Piper discuss whether Jesus and Paul agreed on the gospel. They respond to the trend among mainline scholars to pit Jesus’s preaching on the kingdom against the gospel of salvation by grace through faith. Carson counsels that if others are abusing the doctrine of the kingdom in a reductionistic way, the response of evangelicals should be to preach the biblical view of the kingdom better and more often, for the glory of God.

Based on concepts from his book The Wisdom Pyramid: Feeding Your Soul in a Post-Truth World , Brett McCracken teaches on how to become wise in a world that offers too much information, too quickly. McCracken addresses an issue of today's generation of quick information—how to develop wisdom amid all that's being thrown at us online. He shares three things that are making us sick: 1. We have too much information. 2. We receive it too quickly. 3. The information is too focused on the individual (self). Instead, of going with the flow of  our post-truth world, McCracken counsels that we should go online for a purpose, stay online only as long as we need to, and then go offline.
