Just want to say that I am really enjoying the interview of John on the Shawn Ryan Show so far. Thanks John for being so open, and also so clearly sharing the gospel and not shying away from faith. I had a pretty big laugh when you were talking about your early marriage years and the fight about just buying essentials but ending up with fancy face soap. My early budgeting technique was just telling my wife to "only buy what we need." I very quickly learned that we have very different definitions of what we "need".
Side note, I know you probably need to balance the faith based content with also appealing to a wider audience that doesn't share the same worldview, but I would love to see maybe a carveout of content that is 100% faith-focused (no holding back) addressing the issues the church is facing today. I.E. anthropology/theology of the body, biblical masculinity/male headship. I know the concept of the war poet is to apply more broadly than just to Christian men, but I think in its true and best form it is a disciplined man of God, who is a provider, protector, theologian and poet. I would love to see that fully fleshed out. I loved your book, and you appeal to scripture but it felt a little softened to appeal to the masses and that left me craving more but full octane unfiltered preacher John.
I watched the series as well. When John told the story about when he was saved it gave me chills. If you search Grace City Rome on YouTube, you can watch John give some amazing sermons, he is Pastor of the Grace City Church in Rome GA.
