Today we are talking to Don Everts. Don Everts is reluctant to call himself an evangelist, but for decades he has found himself talking about Jesus with all sorts of skeptical and curious people. He is a writer for Lutheran Hour Ministries and has served as a pastor and a campus minister. His many books include Jesus with Dirty Feet, I Once Was Lost, The Reluctant Witness, and The Spiritually Vibrant Home.

Don is the author of The Hopeful Neighborhood and, along with Tony Cook, wrote The Hopeful Neighborhood Field Guide. The Hopeful Neighborhood is a call for churches to be hopeful neighbors, and come together with other organizations to work for the common good. The Hopeful Neighborhood launches March 1, with many resources released on the Hopeful Neighborhood web site. Click here to visit the site.
