Mikel Collins introduces the remarkable journey of All Things All People (ATAP), a ministry in Rutherford County, North Carolina, dedicated to equipping Christians to spread the gospel to the least reached and darkest communities. We hear from Jeremy Jenkins, founder and executive director of ATAP, who shares the ministry's transformation from a consulting company to a nonprofit with a global mission. The conversation covers the unique challenges and successes of engaging small towns with evangelism and discipleship, particularly through the Engage Network initiative. Discussion includes the significant role of addressing nominal Christianity, the importance of rooting missionary work in local contexts, and the transformative power of true spirituality over cultural Christianity. ATAP's commitment to staying and thriving in Forest City as opposed to moving to larger cities is a testament to their dedication to their community. The episode wraps up with insights on engaging younger generations and spiritual nones, and a call to share the gospel with those around us, emphasizing the need for a united Christian mission.

This episode gives you a breakdown of the any three model for evangelism. This method, developed by Mike Shipman, is designed for sharing the gospel in Muslim-majority contexts but can be applied more broadly. Dive into what the Any Three method entails, including its five steps: getting connected, getting to God, getting to lostness, getting to the gospel, and getting to a decision. The discussion covers the theological basis for the method, tackling obstacles in evangelism, and the importance of presenting the gospel in a straightforward, conversational manner. Listeners will also learn the story of the first and last sacrifice, a tool within the Any Three method to articulate the gospel effectively. Whether reaching across the street or across the globe, this episode equips you to share your faith confidently.

Muslims and Christians walk around this world pretending as if they mean the same thing when they refer to Jesus and Isa. Yet most Muslims have never read the Gospels at all, and they take the claim that its contents are corrupt on faith. To get a Muslim to ever read it and encounter the true Jesus is a triumph. Today, we uncover the truth about the difference between Isa and Jesus.

The Holy Spirit is the least understood person of the Trinity. So how do we explain it to non-Christians? This episode walks through the various groups we might come across and how we might begin conversations around the Holy Spirit, and God's trinitarian nature as a whole.

Who and what is God?
This question forms the beginning of a conversation with Latter-day Saints about their belief in who they call "Heavenly Father". The conclusions found after exploring that question lead us to realize that not only are the LDS views on god irreconcilable with historic Christianity, but they also fail the basic tests of logic. Find out why in this episode of BASECAMP.
