In Episode 7 of Season 6, Shane Pruitt, Lacey Villasenor, and Paul Worcester unpack why getting Jesus right is essential for every ministry leader and every student we shepherd. Hear the most common cultural distortions of Jesus and how to help students rediscover the biblical Jesus revealed in Scripture. Be equipped with tools for teaching repentance, lordship, the exclusivity of Christ, and the urgency of evangelism with clarity and compassion. Take away practical strategies such as gospel appointments, three evangelism habits, and how to correct false views of Jesus without shame or fear. Be encouraged to preach the real Jesus boldly and train your students to do the same.

Also in This Episode, Learn:

• To identify and dismantle cultural “false Jesus” narratives using Scripture, not opinion.
• The importance of teaching a full biblical gospel every time you present Jesus.
• To equip students to normalize hard conversations about hell, eternity, and exclusivity, topics Jesus spoke about often.
• How essential it is to model tears and compassion for the lost, showing students that passion flows from understanding the gospel.
• To prioritize gospel appointments with new students and train them to do the same with others.
