What if evangelism isn't nearly as intimidating as you've always thought?Jeremy Chong is a church planter in Chicago who has spent years taking the gospel to people on the streets of the city. Along the way, he's had many run ins with the police for his evangelism, shared his testimony and the gospel before federal judges, and had his story covered by the Chicago Tribune. His story has even been picked up by people like Ben Shapiro and Franklin Graham.But this conversation isn't really about Jeremy's extraordinary experiences. It's about something much more ordinary: how you and I can actually share Jesus with the people God has put around us.In this episode, Jeremy and I talk about the myths that make evangelism seem harder than it really is, the fears that keep Christians silent, what evangelism actually looks like in a city like Chicago, and how ordinary Christians can become more comfortable having gospel conversations.You don't need to be a street preacher. You don't need a theology degree. You don't need the perfect answer to every question.You just need to be willing to start a conversation.If you've ever thought, “I know I should evangelize, but I would have no idea what to say,” this episode is for you.For more information on Jeremy's Church plant visit: https://www.reformationchicago.com/For more information on Pastor Raef and Park Community Church visit: parksouthloop.org

Psalm 3 (A New Pattern in Jesus) - Joe Kim by Park Community Church

Psalm 23 (The Shepherd Boy Has a Shepherd: The God Who Leads Us Home) - Phil Adams by Park Community Church

What does it mean for the gospel to be functionally central — not just theologically true in the abstract, but actually animating the way a pastor preaches, thinks, and lives? Mike Bullmore, author of The Heart of Preaching: The Functional Centrality of the Gospel in the Life and Work of the Preacher, joins Brian From to answer that question. A veteran pastor who planted Crossway Community Church 28 years ago and now preaches at Park Community Church in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood, Mike makes a simple but convicting diagnosis: the moment a preacher reserves gospel proclamation only for evangelistic sermons and then shifts to discipleship content for believers, he's already gone off course. The gospel isn't just the entry point — it's the flywheel that keeps everything else moving. He also speaks directly to the pastor who has quietly grown apathetic, lost the awe, and is grinding through sermons on fumes — with a word from Psalm 103 about God's compassion and a surprisingly practical prescription involving the Gospel of Mark and the book of Leviticus.
