No one is immune from doubt. We all experience questions, uncertainties and doubts. Doubt is part of human nature. People, circumstances, and hard seasons have a way of shaking what we thought we knew about ourselves and what we believe. So, when that same doubt finds its way into our faith, it shouldn’t surprise us. […]
In our over connected and distracted world there is a lack of genuine personal connections. This often means the most generous thing we can offer another person is our full attention. Not a glance at our phone between their sentences. Not half-listening while assuming we know what they need and then mentally rehearsing our response. […]
The general landscape of evangelism has shifted dramatically. For much of the last century, skeptics approached Christianity primarily through the lens of truth. They asked questions like: Is the Bible God’s Word? Have the Scriptures been corrupted? Why is Christianity the correct religion among all world religions? These questions sought intellectual answers about Christianity’s validity. […]

When sharing the Gospel across cultural, geographical and personal divides, our greatest challenge is to create genuine human connection and understanding.

The Power and Peril of […]
Language is a mirror of the heart, reflecting our deepest values and priorities. Over the past five decades, a subtle but profound shift has occurred in how we speak about ourselves and the world. Research has documented a dramatic increase in the use of first-person singular pronouns like “I”, “me,” “my,” and “mine“. At the […]
The digital landscape is a complex mission field where anonymity often emboldens people to be transparent and share things they have never shared. It is also an invitation for challenging topics. Our online evangelism team encounters a spectrum of digital conversations that range from genuine seekers to deliberate provocateurs. This format requires an extra dose […]
When people are grappling with faith or facing tough times, they might say they’ve given up on prayer. This is a delicate situation that requires empathy and understanding. It’s not uncommon for people to feel discouraged about prayer, especially when they’ve prayed for something specific that didn’t happen. It can also occur when they are […]
In today’s digital maze, content is easy to find but real connection not so much. We can scroll through countless apps, platforms, and social networks promising community.
