Such an important conversation for you today! NYC Pastor Paul Murphy joined us to share his story and to talk about the importance of evangelism as a way of life. We primarily discuss why and how our (Dutch) Reformed Churches struggle to evangelize and do it well. We also get into what truly should motivate evangelism: love for God and love for the lost. We hope this episode encourages and inspires you to really think about your love for the lost and the importance of sharing the Gospel, for it truly is a matter of life or death.
