Podcasts about mere evangelism

Though we might not like to admit it, all of us struggle with doubts in our Christian walk. And for those who don't yet have a faith, doubt can feel like an insurmountable obstacle to truly embracing Christ. So whether we are helping others on their journey, or treading the path ourselves, safely navigating the terrains of doubt can be a challenge. Our friend Randy Newman recorded this interview with us just before he passed away earlier this year. He wrote about doubts in his final book, Questioning Faith: Indirect Journeys of Belief through Terrains of Doubt.Randy Newman (1956-2024) was senior fellow for apologetics and evangelism at the C. S. Lewis Institute. He was formerly on staff with Cru, ministering in and near Washington, DC. He authored several books, including Questioning Evangelism, Unlikely Converts and Mere Evangelism. He has contributed a number of articles to the Solas website. Randy went home to be with the Lord in May 2024.

 Randy Newman talked about the 3rd edition of “Questioning Evangelism” and introduced the way of engaging non-believers in spiritual conversations by asking questions, much as Jesus did. Randy Newman is the Senior Fellow for Apologetics and Evangelism at The C. S. Lewis Institute in the Washington, DC area. He has taught at several evangelical seminaries, Patrick Henry College in Loudoun County, VA, and is currently an adjunct professor at Reformed Theological Seminary. His background as a Jewish believer uniquely informs his perspectives and teaching.After serving for over 30 years with Campus Crusade for Christ, he established Connection Points, a ministry to help Christians engage people's hearts the way Jesus did. He has written several books, including the award winning Questioning Evangelism (that we are discussing today) as well as numerous articles about evangelism and other ways our lives intertwine with God's creation. Randy has been our guest on this show discussing his books Mere Evangelism and Bringing the Gospel Home, witnessing to family members and close friends.

Evangelism is an extraordinary task; it's what God uses to bring people from death to life. But it has always been difficult. C.S. Lewis was used by God in the conversions of countless people, from friends and acquaintances in his own lifetime to modern-day readers of books such as The Chronicles of Narnia and Mere Christianity (the most influential Christian book of the 20th century). As Tim Keller comments, "C.S. Lewis was incredibly skilled at getting Christianity across in a way that's powerful to thoughtful people." So, if we want help with evangelism, there is much we can learn from the clarity and imagination of this hugely influential Christian writer. You may feel inadequate to the task; after all, there is only one C.S. Lewis. But our guest helps us to apply the methods Lewis used (storytelling, humor, imagery, and more) in our own conversations. You will be equipped to talk about your faith and engage with unbelievers wisely, whatever their attitude towards the Christian faith.

No one is good except God alone. 19You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.'” 20And he said to him, “Teacher, all these I have kept from my youth.” 21And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22Disheartened by the saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.1 Peter 3:1513Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good? 14But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed.

What is per-evangelism? And what does C. S. Lewis have to say? Randy Newman join Bill to discuss the things you can do before you go out an evangelize in his book "Mere Evangelism: 10 Insights From C.S. Lewis to Help You Share Your Faith."

Chris Stirewalt returns to The Remnant for punditry so intense it could rival the summer heat of New Orleans. Religious definitions are first on the docket, as Jonah and Chris explore the voting habits of Catholics, whether “Evangelical” is an outdated term, and the relationship between political beliefs and church attendance. Afterward, a deep dive into party politics commences, covering the GOP's embrace of working-class men, the right's broader commitment to bogus election fraud narratives, and how the return of radical chic could spark a new class war. Ultimately, only German words are sufficient to express Chris' horror at our current situation. Show Notes: - Trash of the titans - Chris on dumping “Evangelical” - Making the church great again - Catholics and politics - The New York Times on Harvard's atheist chaplain - Jim Banks' push for a working-class GOP - Jerry Seib on the California recall - The Emerging Democratic Majority - An excuse for whenever you break the law - Coincidence? I think not! - Tucker Carlson outcrazies himself See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
