Evangelism Is a Team Sport
Nathan Campbell, an Australian pastor and blogger, came up with the phrase, “Evangelism in a skeptical world is basically a team game.”12 We need to do evangelism together, as a team, playing off the same playbook. Nathan showed me that in 1 Thessalonians 1:4–10, which is one of the great go-to passages for a model […]

What was Jesus doing between Friday and Sunday and why it matters
Understanding what it means to identify with Jesus’ death is so critical for our transformation process that Paul explained exactly what Jesus was doing between the time He died on the cross and was resurrected from the grave. He uses some ancient warfare language no longer familiar to us to describe Jesus’ victory over death, […]

Why can’t we just evangelize the same way Billy Graham did?
People often ask me, “Why can’t we just evangelize the same way Billy Graham did?” What’s wrong with a simple twenty-minute Bible talk? The hidden assumption here is that if it worked for Billy, it should work for us. Perhaps there’s also the feeling that we’re selling out on the gospel by not trusting the […]

What does the Bible teach about the judgement of God?
Do you believe in divine judgment? By which I mean, do you believe in a God who acts as our Judge? Many, it seems, do not. Speak to them of God as a Father, a friend, a helper, one who loves us despite all our weakness and folly and sin, and their faces light up; […]

“Friendship” evangelism vss “proclamation” evangelism
An American friend once dismissed this whole approach to evangelism as “friendship evangelism.” That’s when I realized I was a naive Australian who had unknowingly stumbled into an American minefield—one that distinguishes “friendship” evangelism from “proclamation” evangelism. The theory of “friendship” evangelism is to make friends with non-Christians, with the hope of one day telling […]

Your to-don’t list is as important as your to-do list
Previously, I asked you, What do you most need to do to have what you want most? Now I want to flip the question to this: What do you most need to stop doing to have what you want most? We are going to learn how to start and stop habits. To begin, let’s identify […]

The greatest obstacle to our transformation
I’ve known many people who talk a lot about change but can’t quite pull the trigger to make it happen—alcoholics who swear they are going to quit drinking right after the next drink, or would-be exercisers promising to start back at the gym next week, next month, or next year, only to never quite get […]

You don’t get your own personal Jesus
When I arrived at the boarding gate, only two other people were waiting to board the late-night flight from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, to Charlotte, North Carolina. One was a gentleman I estimated to be two hundred years old. The other was a mysterious, brooding young woman in her early twenties with deep brown eyes. I […]
