Published on 1 Comment on Podcast: Interviewing Matt Rich about Online Witness

TEP-PodcastCover-1024x1024Andy and I are in a series discussing online evangelism. Last week we spoke to Gavin Tyte about just living out our passions authentically and allowing our love for Jesus to naturally flow. This week we think about more intentional online witness.

Matt Rich runs a chat helpline website called Groundwire that connects with hundreds of people a month, answering questions about the Christian faith, and pointing people to Jesus through their local church.

I think Groundwire is a fascinating example of how pastoral care and evangelism coincide. If you ask me evangelism is pastoral care and pastoral care is evangelism. Our churches and our mission will be a lot healthier when we make those links.

In 2011, Gavin Tyte won ITV’s Nativity Factor with his Beatbox Nativity (see below).

Gavin is an ordained Anglican minister and now a full-time pastor to the beatboxing community. In this interview, Gavin talks about his faith, his beatboxing and his witness. He speaks with refreshing clarity about the need to be authentic - to love people, to use our gifts and to let our witness flow out of a genuine love for Christ, for people and for the world.

Check out Beatbox Bible to see Luke's Gospel rapped and to learn to do the same - what a resource!

Andy and I really enjoyed talking to him, hope you enjoy listening.

Published on 1 Comment on Podcast: Graham Miller on our Online Witness

TEP-PodcastCover-1024x1024Last week we spoke to Graham Miller from London City Mission about the work of LCM.

This week we pick his brains on online evangelism. Here is just some of the wisdom he shares...

Sometimes evangelistic sites can be hijacked by atheists trying to wind up the Christian apologist, perhaps we need more "walled gardens" in internet evangelism - e.g. Facebook groups that discuss deeper issues, news stories. It's a short walk from a serious conversation to a gospel conversation.

The internet enables the resourcing of evangelists much more broadly as expertise is shared.

People in the UK are very private people, even if Christians are being loving, it's not on show. But the internet is an opportunity to open the doors on that.

Do we just vent our spleen online? Or do we realise that online is one more dimension of our Christian discipleship?

Remember that our disagreements online are public.

Churches are the best apologetic - the best witness. The love of a church community together is the ideal. But the internet is part of the picture - it can be a step on the way to church community.

Published on Leave a comment on Podcast – Exploding Evangelistic Myths

TEP-PodcastCover-1024x1024321 isn't the simplest gospel presentation in the world.

And it doesn't seek to meet unbelievers where they're at.

Nor does it try to reason from common ground and bring people in stages to the gospel.

It also majors on such 'advanced truths' as Trinity and union with Christ.

So why do evangelism this way?

Published on 1 Comment on Podcast: Adam in Evangelism? And Original Sin? Really?

TEP-PodcastCover-1024x1024

In the previous episode  we discussed THREE (Trinity). That's the first truth of 321. In this podcast we talk about TWO (Adam and Christ).

Here we'll discuss whether Adam complicates or clarifies our evangelism.

Surely - you might think - Adam introduces more problems than he solves. Well, down through the centuries, the church has stood solidly on the ground of Adam's historical existence. And we have stood on the doctrine of original sin. Why? Because the gospel falls apart without these truths.

So how do we speak of them without being led down a thousand conversational cul-de-sacs?

TEP-PodcastCover-1024x1024In this episode we unpack THREE from 321.

We ask:

- Why speak about THREE?

- What happens if we're not trinitarian?

- How should we go about trinitarian evangelism?"

TEP-PodcastCover-1024x1024

We're in a series talking about what stops us from evangelizing.

Last time we thought about false views of God. We fear getting our hands dirty because we mistakenly think holiness means keeping out of the world.

This time we're thinking about a false view of the world. We fear having red faces because we mistakenly think it's the world that determines our true identity.

Published on 2 Comments on Podcast: What’s Stopping Us? Fear of Dirty Hands

TEP-PodcastCover-1024x1024

We've been thinking about barriers to evangelism.

Over two episodes we considered problems of the head (part 1, part 2). Now, in three episodes we will discuss problems of the heart.

In particular we will address our fears of dirty hands, red faces and poor spirits. In this episode we try to rethink godliness according to the gospel of Jesus. If Christ moved into the world to befriend sinners then "getting our hands dirty" in mission is not simply necessary, it's positively divine!

Published on Leave a comment on Podcast: What’s Stopping Us? part two

TEP-PodcastCover-1024x1024In our last episode we began looking at Problems of the Head. We tried to establish the proper place of reason in evangelism. Reason is not the ladder reaching up to heaven, revelation is the rescue that comes down.

In this episode we work through some of the implications for reason. We think about how we should address enquirer's intellectual objections. In particular we try to:

  • Reframe the question
  • Reflect to the questioner, and
  • Reveal Christ

The true nature of evangelism is not offering Cool, Credibility, Creeds or Courses. It's offering Christ.
