On todays podcast I have the pleasure of Interviewing Matt Mikalatos. He has authored many books, but today we are going to be talking about his book Good News for a Change: How to Talk to Anyone about Jesus.

In our conversation today we’re going to talk about:

• Where the word ‘Gospel’ came from, and what the word ‘Gospel’ means

• How much of the gospel we need to share in order for a person to be able to be saved

• We’ll get nerdy with some Greek words that help us better understand evangelism

• How we can effectively engage with people who have different beliefs

• How we have forgotten what is good about the good news

In our conversation today we’re going to talk about

the importance of church history for us today

We’re going to talk in particular about the Moravian and Waldensian church movement… a topic that doesn’t often get covered, but one that I am particularly fascinated by

What took place with the Moravians that lead to one of the biggest global missions movements in church history

what the church needs to do today to engage with the culture around us

Moravian Church Documentary - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQNWCQbm4bcShaila addresses some of the pushback people have against Alpha:

We’ll address the argument that Alpha takes Evangelism out of the hands of believers and puts it into the hands of a video

Whether Alpha is too preachy of a tool for the post-Christian west.

How individuals and churches can utilize the Alpha Marriage course

How many of our evangelistic strategies fail to recognize or depend upon the Holy Spirit.
