"Jesus, The Savior or Just a Good Teacher"

In this episode of the Valley Run Podcast, Pastor A.J. Dudek delves into the critical question of Jesus' identity, exploring the findings of the 2025 State of Theology survey. The discussion highlights a concerning trend among evangelicals, where a significant number view Jesus merely as a moral teacher rather than affirming His full deity. Pastor Dudek emphasizes the importance of understanding Jesus as both fully divine and fully human, as this belief is foundational to Christian salvation, worship, and ethics. The episode also reflects on the teachings of Francis Schaeffer and John Calvin, underscoring the necessity of holding to the true doctrine of Christ's nature to maintain the integrity of the gospel message.
