Author of "The Gospel of Inclusion" and "God is Not a Christian" Pearson offers a fresh perspective on a variety of current topics on the hearts and minds of the people. As a charismatic Christian leader, Pearson considers himself a liberal-conservative with remarkable views on a range of issues, from the Iraq War to gay marriage.  Rejected over the last several years by mainstream Christian leadership, Pearson has been declared a modern-day heretic for questioning the teachings of Christian doctrine that promotes a loving God who would sentence billions of people to an eternal hell, a discussion now known as the Gospel of Inclusion.  Pearson has appeared on programs such as: ABC's 20/20, Dateline, Nightline, Larry King Live, Politically Incorrect, CNN, MSNBC, CBS News, Fox News, B.E.T, The Monique Show, "This American Life" on National Public Radio and many others.
