Inviting Others Into God’s Good News

What do we do with this finding from a recent Barna study: “A startling six in 10 Americans believe that any ‘attempt to convert others’ to one’s own faith is ‘extreme’”? Priscilla Pope-Levison, author of the award-winning book, Models of Evangelism, bucks the statistics by introducing Christians to a wide range of models, from personal to media evangelism and from small group to prophetic evangelism. Join us for a conversation about how these models can inspire churches and individual Christians to convey the good news (euangelion) of the gospel.

A part of our series Intersection: Where Theology and Practice Meet, this webinar took place on Tuesday, May 11.

We offer Intersection at no charge to you. If you find it impactful and would like to help us continue offering webinars like this, as well as other resources for churches and Christian leaders, we appreciate donations of any size. Thank you!
