Why Is It Important to Understand Someone's Worldview?
Many people try to evangelize by spitting out a scripted explanation of the gospel. As a result, the unbeliever often feels like he is being given a pitch for Jesus, something he did not ask for or want. In this episode, Mark and Jeff explain the value of taking the time to listen to and understand the unbeliever’s worldview so you can tailor your gospel presentation to the person’s specific questions and objections.Want to reach out, ask a question, or request a speaking event?

What Is Biblical Evangelism?
Many Christians learned to present the gospel as a “decision” to be made or think of it in terms of “committing one’s life to Christ” or “surrendering to Christ.” In this episode, Mark and Jeff emphasize the need to use biblical language and concepts of repentance and faith to avoid confusion and to make it clear what we invite the unbeliever to do to be saved.Want to reach out, ask a question, or request a speaking event?
