Dr. Tony Evans has decided to start a new venture since handing over Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship to his son, Jonathan. He is now in the podcast business.
According to ChurchLeaders, Evans’ new podcast, “The Unbound Podcast,” is set to feature many different voices, including those well-known in Christian circles such as Lecrae, Kirk Franklin and Matt Chandler.
In a trailer for the podcast, Evans discusses everything from the phenomena of Christianity in hip hop to idolatry in ministry.
“Hip hop became a cultural phenomenon and you…we’ll call it, sanctified it,” Evans says to Lecrae.
“It took time to show people that our look is different,” Lecrae responded. “Just think about young David going up to King Saul and saying, ‘Hey, this armor doesn’t quite fit me.'”
Evans also said in an interview with ChurchLeaders that: “Unbound comes out of that, to release God’s Word and show its relevancy to every area of life to individuals to families to churches and to a cultural crisis.”
He further said one of the episodes he is looking forward to releasing the most is his with Kirk Franklin. “Kirk Franklin…he’s the music genre, but he’s got a lot of cultural perspectives that you’re going to find intriguing and a unique personality to go with it.”
Evans is the next high-profile minister to start a podcast after retiring from leading a church.
Previously, T.D. Jakes started a podcast after he handed the mantle of his church over to his daughter and son-in-law.
