Interviews

Megan Fate Marshman: Everyday Grace

While influence tends to want to go upwards and grow to the right, I am fighting to go down to the left, and it takes a lot of intentionality.

Nirup Alphonse: It Starts With Hospitality

The point of hospitality is not to entertain; it is to tell a better story and invite people into the story of God. That's what people need. That's what they're longing for. They want to be a part of that story. And that story is transforming. That story is eternal. That story is enduring. That story is faithful.

Gene Appel: Do Less Ministry; Reach More People

None of the programs at our church were bad in and of themselves. The volume of it just prevented us from being focused on building relationships with those who are far from God. So, we had to do less ministry to reach more people. It sounds funny, but people had to be trained in how to do life with nonbelievers or people spiritually disinterested.

David Kinnaman: Living Out the Gospel in Digital Babylon

The promise of Jesus is for this life and the life to come. There’s an opportunity that we have in this moment of spiritual openness that Jesus is well-regarded and well-liked and he seems to be beckoning people.

Dhati Lewis: Creating Space for Change in Your Community

I think if we're going to make disciples in the 21st century in a polarizing time, we've got to recapture the art of hospitality. Because hospitality is where we are able to make an enemy a friend.

Lee Strobel: Why Championing Evangelism Is More Important Than Ever

The unexpected adventure of evangelism is the joy and the excitement and the spice of the Christian life. Being active evangelistically raises all other areas of our Christian life.

John Mark Comer: The Apprentice

Almost all evangelical discipleship is built on the assumption that as a person’s knowledge of the Bible increases, their spiritual maturity will increase with it.

John K. Jenkins Sr.: Wisdom From a Life of Ministry

The kingdom of God is made up of failed people who make mistakes. We should put our trust in the principles of Scripture, in the teachings of God.

Bobby Gruenewald & Craig Groeschel: Making Connections

“The goal is not to just deliver content, but to develop community.”—Bobby Gruenewald

John Dickson: The Power of Persuasion in a Post-Christian Nation

Speak to the culture like you're in Athens, not in Jerusalem, and expect to be scoffed at and smile sweetly back, and expect some to give us another hearing, and others to believe.

Hannah Stolze: Loving Your Neighbor Through Your Business

We have a really unique opportunity in workspaces to demonstrate the love of God, invite conversation, build relationship and really be strategic in terms of how we reach the lost and how we demonstrate God's love for all of creation and show up in ways that reflect that.
