    Sep 16 2024

  • The Five Gifts Podcast: Church Public Relations

    The Five Gifts Podcast: Church Public Relations
    Sep 9 2024
    A practical theology of "be separate from the world" has made public relations a most difficult function to embrace. For some, having a public relations system just feels secular, worldly, and self-promoting. Can one declare that public relations serves as a basic part of God's redemptive plan? Has Jesus worked on this function since the fall? Does the DNA of the church contain basic essences of public relations? Is it enough to consider it a vital system of the church? The answers revealed in the Old and New Testaments as well as church history are a resounding “YES.” God continually communicated His redemptive plan and redemptive events both to His people and to the peoples of the world throughout history. This function clarifies the reasons and the methods God uses to communicate his plan of redemption through the ages.

    The Five Gifts Podcast: Evangelism Strategies
    Sep 3 2024
    The Great Commission compels every follower of Christ to communicate the Gospel to people in every walk of life. This central objective includes leading others to a spiritual transformation. However, in every generation, the timeless simplicity of that command inevitably runs into many complexities ranging from spiritual warfare, cultural shifts, and changing views on religion, spirituality, faith, and the stubbornness of unbelief. Without evangelism, the local church doesn’t have much of a future. The responsibility of spiritual leadership in the local Church proves crucial to prepare, motivate, and guide believers into Jesus’ mission by sustaining a clear definition of evangelism, retooling strategies to reach lost people in appropriate and effective ways, and welcoming the empowerment of the Spirit for the task.
