Stop Treating Evangelism Like a Performance

Stop Treating Evangelism Like a Performance

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1326163/fan_mail/new] Evangelism isn’t a performance, a program, or a pressure tactic—and it was never meant to be. In this episode, a men’s Bible study group walks through Evangelism (9Marks) and wrestles honestly with what it really means to share the gospel in everyday life. This is a raw, unscripted conversation about practical evangelism, church culture, altar calls, discipleship, and why most Christians feel either guilty or paralyzed when it comes to sharing their faith. We talk about: - Why evangelism is persuasion, not manipulation - Why you can’t “talk someone into” following Jesus - The danger of confusing decisions with discipleship - Evangelism as a long game, not a microwave moment - Living as ambassadors for Christ at work, at home, and in failure - Why authenticity matters more than polish - How churches can build a culture of evangelism, not just programs - Why actions open doors—but the gospel still requires words - This episode is for anyone who: - Feels awkward or afraid to share their faith - Is tired of gimmicks and performance-driven Christianity - Wants to live out the gospel in real life, not just Sunday morning - Believes evangelism should look like presence, humility, and truth 📚 Books Mentioned Evangelism – J.

The Whole Story: How Biblical Theology Points to Christ Alone

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1326163/fan_mail/new] In this episode of The Dad Show Bible Study, we dive deep into the book "Biblical Theology" by Nick Roark and Robert Cline from the 9Marks series.  This conversation explores how the entire story of the Bible — from Genesis to Revelation — centers on one person: Jesus Christ. We unpack common errors churches fall into (like the civil gospel, prosperity gospel, or moralism), and how detaching scripture from its context leads to dangerous theology. We also talk about what it means to faithfully interpret scripture as dads, leaders, and believers. 🔥 Topics Covered: - Why proof-texting is dangerous - How to keep Christ at the center of biblical interpretation - What the Bible is really about (hint: it’s not us) - Legacy leadership as Christian fathers - Understanding types, shadows, and fulfillment in Christ - How men can study the Bible deeply and lead their families in truth 📚 Next Book Study (January): “Evangelism” by J.

Sound Doctrine & Spiritual Leadership: Why Men Must Go Deeper in the Word

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1326163/fan_mail/new] In this powerful episode, our men’s Bible study group dives deep into Sound Doctrine by Bobby Jamieson. We explore how doctrine isn’t just for scholars — it’s the lifeblood of a healthy Christian walk. From the nature of Scripture to how we preach, teach, and lead in our homes and churches, we discuss why a clear, whole-Bible view of God is essential — especially for men being called to spiritual leadership. We also reflect on personal challenges, cultural distractions, and the spiritual warfare that tries to keep men from gathering and growing in truth.

We unpack core Scriptures, personal testimonies, and real talk about how discipling is more about relationship, consistency, humility, and truth in love — not having all the answers. Key topics: * What discipleship actually is — and what it’s not * Why you don’t need to “know everything” to begin discipling * How Dever’s view lines up with Paul’s charge in Colossians 1:28 * Why humility, not authority, is the key to true influence Join the discussion and prepare your heart for our next study: Sound Doctrine by Bobby Jamieson. 🧠 Subscribe & follow to grow with us as we pursue Christ together!
