Episode 41: The Cold Call Delusion - Rethinking Conversion, Evangelism, and Discipleship Through First-Century Eyes

April 25, 2022 - Host: Dr. Gregory Hall 

In today’s church culture, someone’s conversion is surrounded by certain expectations. Conversion is often understood as a “personal decision for Christ” that happens at a church alter, or maybe an outreach event. And when that decision is memorialized by some rendition of the “sinner’s prayer”, only then is it considered official. But what if our modern understanding of conversion isn’t at all like what the biblical text shows. Then we may need to “rethink conversion”.
