In this episode of Local Leaders The Podcast, Jim Chapman engages in a deep conversation with Rick Gage, a former football coach turned evangelist, who has dedicated his life to spreading the Gospel since 1986. Joined by Richard Blue, the Director of Missions for the East Louisiana Baptist Association, we explore Rick’s transformative journey and the significant moment that ignited his faith. Rick shares inspiring stories of individuals who have transformed their lives through his evangelistic efforts, illustrating the powerful ripple effect of commitment to Christ. 

We discuss the urgent need for unity among local churches in the face of challenges in unchurched communities, highlighted by the upcoming Go Tell America Crusade. Set for March 16th through 19th, this event aims to mobilize over 35 local churches, emphasizing youth engagement and outreach. Listeners are invited to actively participate in this mission, as we reflect on the potential impact of collective faith on our communities.
