Today, we’re blessed to welcome back to the show our neighbor in the valley and amazing evangelism expert, Erik Fish. If you missed his first chat with us please go back to January 28th and listen to his podcast on everyday discipleship. Today we’re chatting about demystifying evangelism. Evangelism has possibly gotten a bad rap. Some people may see it is as only for the “extroverted and extremely gifted.”

Today we’re talking about missional accountability. Is that an oxymoron?
Here is what we mean: as a follower of Jesus, we believe there are two extremes that church leaders often fall into. On the one hand, we become all touchy-feely and soft and extremely sensitive to the feelings of others. Therefore, our discipleship can lack grit and determination. It’s all about relationships and accountability is resisted. On the other hand, some leaders are wired so hard to achieve metrics of growth to give themselves purpose...and they leave a wake of hurt followers behind. He is too driven and all into accountability...but the mission gets weakened. We firmly believe that leaders lean in one of these two directions, naturally...and we need help to get balanced to both mission and accountability.
