Episode 142: No, Christians Don't Always have Better Marriages and Sex Lives--a response to Josh Howerton

Send us Fan Mail

Last month Josh Howerton, lead pastor at Lakepointe Church in Dallas, wrote a Twitter thread sharing research with 5 reasons Christians are doing better than the media gives us credit for. Matt Chandler, head of The Acts29 Network and lead pastor at The Village Church, retweeted it.
The problem? The research he uses doesn’t say what he says it says.
