When our Gospel is focused merely on the after-life, today’s unchurched find our message irrelevant, and possibly intolerant. In this webinar, discover a clear, field-tested way to present a larger vision of the Gospel — one closer to what Jesus taught.
Learn why the big story — including the essential phrases designed for good; damaged by evil; restored for better; and sent together to heal — connects with friends who live in an increasingly unchurched culture and encourages believers to share a faith that truly feels like good news.
IN THIS WEBINAR YOU WILL:
- Explore how to tell a better story of the Gospel.
- Engage the history of how the Gospel has felt like bad news.
- Receive a tested tool for equipping others.
- Discern how the Good News is heard in differing contexts.
Join Our FREE Webinar on June 24 @ 1 PM Eastern!
