18. Hymns and the Heart - “Jesus, What a Friend for Sinners”

<p>Evangelicalism has historically been called the “religion of the heart.” Evangelicals have always proclaimed the indispensability of a personal attachment to Jesus. Such “heart religion” has always led to the writing of biblically rich hymns that foster a vital relationship with the Lord. In this episode, Zack and Alex discuss the intersection between hymns and the heart - namely, how Christian singing nurtures personal devotion to Christ. They also discuss John Wilbur Chapman’s hymn “Jesus, What a Friend of Sinners.”</p>
