What if real evangelism was never meant to feel like selling… but like loving? 

In this episode of Two Pastors and a Mic, Cory and Channock unpack Cory’s free eBook “How to Understand the Gospel and Share It Effectively.” They challenge the old pressure-driven models of church outreach and invite listeners into a relational, grace-based vision of evangelism rooted in identity, belonging, and reconciliation.

This episode is all about clearing the fog around the gospel and rediscovering the heart behind sharing it — not urgency, not assignments, not agenda… but presence, peace, and people.

You’ll hear:
🔥 Why the gospel doesn’t demand your faith — it supplies it
⚖️ The difference between retribution-based judgment and restoration-based justice
🌱 Why success starts in identity, not hustle or hurry
👥 How evangelism becomes toxic when people turn into assignments
❤️ The scandalous truth: Jesus accepted you — before you ever accepted Him
📜 Why we were created in Christ, not Adam
💧 The 5 keys to sharing the gospel without pressure:
🧠 Reflection questions that help you rethink how you see people and share good news

If you’ve ever felt crushed by performance Christianity or confused by the point of sharing the gospel in a union-based faith, this episode will help you breathe deeper and believe better.
