A landmark Supreme Court case in Mississippi has brought the contentious topic of abortion raging back to the surface of the national conversation. Unlike other cases, this one has the potential to possibly reverse the controversial Roe Vs. Wade decision of 1973. What is at stake here for the pro-life cause? But most importantly what is at stake for the protection of millions of unborn lives? In this episode of a two-part series, Prashanth unpacks the legal and constitutional landscape of this modern Holocaust.

Its hard to believe that its been 20 years since the 9/11 attacks. As America and the West continue to grapple with the complexities of Middle Eastern policies, what lessons can we learn from 9/11? Are Western and Islamic cultures fundamentally the same, or are they diametrically opposite to each other? In this episode, Prashanth breaks down the intrinsic worldview differences between Western and Islamic culture, while showing us that it is not policies that dictate worldview, but rather worldview that dictates policies.

Christians generally know that they are called to evangelize in obedience to Jesus' mandate in Mathew 28. But the average Christian often struggles to identify which conversations have evangelistic potential, and if they do, how to transition from small talk to deeper and more spiritual issues. In this episode, Prashanth offers some useful tips on precisely that and offers some tactical strategies on how to evangelize graciously but effectively as winsome ambassadors of Christ.

As Christians we should know the Gospel and certainly believe in it. But is it possible to become so familiar with the Gospel that we actually take it for granted? In this episode Prashanth unpacks how and why we take the Gospel for granted and what we can do about it.

If Christians know the truth of the Gospel and believe it to be saving truth, what prevents them from sharing the Gospel with others? In this episode Prashanth breaks down some reasons why Christians might feel unequipped to share their convictions with those who dont believe or might have questions about the faith.

When it comes to evangelizing, people sometimes make the mistake of assuming that it is a task best left to 'experts' like pastors, theologians, evangelists or apologists. But the Bible never takes this approach. As believers we are all expected, in some manner or the other, to play an active role in the Great Commission. In this episode, Prashanth breaks down how understanding God's preferred agency of execution might motivate us to become proactive in our evangelism.

In the second part to this series, Prashanth examines how Western culture's tendency to privatize it's faith to make it 'individual' and 'personal', resulted in the inadvertent consequence of removing it's potency from the public sphere of influence. There could be something that we might call a faith that is 'our own' but if our Christian convictions fail to influence the way we practically live our lives in the different segments of culture, then society itself is deprived of witnessing the transforming power of Christianity through the lives of it's followers.

The Great Commission, referenced in Mathew 28, is one of the single greatest mandates given to Christians by Christ himself. And yet statistically speaking, the data shows that most self-proclaimed Christians don't know much about the Great Commission, let alone practice it. Which begs the question - is the Christian church apathetic to the Great Commission? In this series, Prashanth walks us through six reasons why Christians might be unwilling or unable to respond to the biblical mandate of evangelism.
