This interview is focused on hearing the Gospel in today's context. I interview a local pastor of a bilingual Spanish-English congregation, Pastor Marcos Canales.
Pastor Canales hears the Gospel as one who has lived the effects of colonization as Jesus did. Also, his congregation just finished a study of the Gospel of Mark, a major source for Matthew, so we get his insights from that study.
Marcos Canales is the pastor of La Fuente Ministries at PazNaz (Pasadena Church of the Nazarene). You can tune into their worship services on Youtube here.
