What Keeps God at Bay? | Tony Evans

Tony Evans has been saying the same thing for fifty years: God limits his presence to the level of our unity. Jack Graham and Jeremiah Johnston, PhD press him on what that costs, and Evans answers with the deacons who told him not to come back, the three-part strategy he hands to churches who mean it, and what he felt holding a Tyndale Bible in white gloves with a curator standing over him. Jack tells the Prestonwood story he has never recorded. Johnston tells the December 2000 story he has never told anywhere, and the man whose cassette tape is in it is sitting across the table.Resources mentionedUnbound, the documentary series in production from The Urban Alternative. Evans says on tape it has grown from one film to three, with additional streaming material, and has roughly a year of filming left.
