The conversation will focus on the trios recent open-air preaching efforts on the campuses of St. Louis Community College--Meramec and Southern Illinois University--Edwardsville.

Both of the "campus leaders" served as examples of just how far the once-evangelistic campus ministry has fallen, from its founding by Evangelist Bill Bright. Now home with the Lord, Bright would not recognize the ministry he founded to reach college students with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Today, CRU is more a representative of American Evangelicalism than it is the Body of Christ. On today's program, you will hear the audio of a conversation with one of the "campus leaders."

On this edition of Cross Encounters Radio. 1. Listen to a conversation between Tony and Todd Friel about Todd's new book, "Jesus Unmasked." From the Publisher: Jesus Christ is the most famous man in human history, but exactly who was He? Some say a fable; others think just one option among many good teachers, or even a nice guy who taught morals. Do any of these descriptions capture the totality of who He was?

When you encounter Jesus Unmasked, you will not be ambivalent. Jesus gives us clarity and insight into the nature of God. Interact with what Jesus taught about Himself and draw your own conclusions to the world’s most important question: “Who is the real
