Ask R.C. Live: January 2014
Answering theological questions from his students has been a continual commitment throughout Dr. R.C. Sproul’s ministry. Originally called “gabfests” by his early students and later, “Ask R.C.,” these sessions continue to take place at our conferences, on Renewing Your Mind, and online.
Thank you to the thousands of ministry friends that watched or called in live for our most recent Ask R.C. event on January 21. You can re-watch this event, hosted by Lee Webb, below:
