TobyMac’s Religion MUST be changed from Christianity to Evangelical Christianity ✝️ on his article on your website. I already sent you an article that lists American 🇺🇸 evangelicals and he is listed on this article.
Hi Colin
There is not much evidence available that he goes to Evangelical Church. It is however sure that he is a Christian.
