27 Jul 3 Things Every Seeking Person Needs

I did not grow up in a religious home, never went to church growing up, and wasn’t really that interested in God - I never thought about him. But then one day in high school a few of my buddies (the same ones I would smoke pot with occasionally) struck up a conversation about the end times and we started talking about if it was real or not. I had no idea. But something inside of me was pretty sure it was real and that the end times would come. It was just one of those things that you kind of deep down believed but you don’t know why.

25 Jun How To Reach Experience Based People With The Gospel

A few years back while sitting in a café with a student trying my best to persuade them of the reality of Jesus and that He is in fact God, I became incredible frustrated as he said to me, “Beau, I don’t care if this is true or not, I want to know if Jesus works?”

17 Jun 3 Reasons It Feels Hard to Be Bold About Jesus

Becoming bold with Jesus can be difficult with the people we are around every day. I used to play basketball with a group of guys at the local 24 Hour Fitness. Our relationship consists of playing ball together and that’s pretty much it. But one day, after we finished playing, a group of us stuck around to shoot the breeze.

As I sat there in that nervous pause, something very usual happened. Most of the guys said, “Thanks but not that interested.” A few said, “You’re a Christian? So am I!” But one of the guys approached me later to take me up on my offer. And this kind of thing has happened to me again and again. I always feel uncomfortable for a minute when it is time to bring up Jesus. Yes, it was awkward for a minute there, but my willingness to step into the awkwardness allowed that one guy to have a breakthrough towards a new conversation about Jesus.

09 Jun The First Step in Evangelism

When it comes to talking about Jesus and doing evangelism, we get so focused on "what we need to say". But, there is something more important than what we're going to say...

20 Apr Evangelism: Today’s Christian Curse Word

Most of us cringe at the word evangelism. Christians I talk to are creeped out by it, uncomfortable and want to run as far away from “witnessing” as possible. Evangelism, witnessing, sharing the gospel, has a horrible image. As my mom said to me the other day,...
