Ed Stetzer Live

With the holidays just around the corner, many Christians like to invite their friends and family to church.  But for those who don't attend regularly, church is not always a welcome place.  So how do we change that?  Ed Stetzer talks with President and CEO of Lifeway Christian Resources, Thom Rainier, on how to make people feel welcome... in church and eventually with the gospel message.  Listen and join in.

Christ gave us the Great Commission... to tell our friends, neighbors and others about God's offer of grace and salvation.  Sometimes that's a little intimidating when we try to go it alone.  Ed Stetzer talks with Sammy Wanyonyi of Shine in the World Ministries on how to demonstrate God's love in creative ways to lead people in churches here at home and all over the world... to a relationship with Christ.  Also joining Ed is Laurel Bunker, a Campus Pastor at Bethel University.  They'll discuss the issues in our world impacting young people today and hoiw to disciple them in Christ.

 

Culture is constantly changing, and many Christians are nervous about what tomorrow will bring.  Polarizing politics, families being redefined, racism, bullying and terrorism are just some of the many issues negatively impacting our communities today.  Ed Stetzer talks with pastor and author Caleb Kaltenbach on how we can put our hope in an unchanging God in these turbulent times.

 

We live in complicated times.  As believers, how do we reach our families, friends and neighbors with the gospel of Christ and live it out?  Ed Stetzer tackles this question with John Stonestreet, President of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview.  They discuss ways you can engage our culture for Christ.  

Nearly 20 percent of the world's children live in extreme poverty... on less than two  dollars a day.  The problem seems so big, many people throw their hands up and say they don't know how to help.  Compassion International President Emeritus Wess Stafford has a solution.  He joins Ed Stetzer to tell you how you can sponsor a child and change lives for the Kingdom. 

In First Timothy, the apostle Paul instructed us to celebrate our pastors, calling them "worthy of double honor."  In light of that, we honor our pastors all month in October.  Ed Stetzer sits down with lead Pastor Rick Blackwood of Christ Fellowship in Miami to talk about Pastor Appreciation Month.

Proof.  Facts.  Reason. Our society is constantly searching for evidence for what we believe.  So how do you convince skeptics to put their faith in something they can't see?  Ed Stetzer tackles this question Saturday in a discussion with New York Times bestselling author and Pastor Tim Keller.  You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in the conversation.
