God has called us to reach our friends, families, neighbors, and coworkers with His story. In this final episode of Season Four, Brad and Trevor welcome their good friend Jeremy Jenkins from All Things All People to discuss the practicals of sharing our faith. What are the conversational tools at our disposal? What does it mean to bring our Gospel presence into our everyday life? Today’s episode is a call for courage to share the Good News with boldness.
