In this bonus episode marking the end of Season 2, we’re sharing a special breakout session from Evangelize 2024 with Tony Payne. It’s an insightful and practical deep-dive into the complex relationship between evangelism and apologetics.

Tony unpacks seven types of persuasion Christians often engage in—from gospel proclamation and responding to objections, to lifestyle witness and cultural engagement. With clarity, biblical depth, and plenty of humor, he challenges us to lead with the gospel, remain compassionate, and avoid getting sidetracked by secondary concerns.

This is a must-listen episode for anyone involved in gospel ministry—pastors, leaders, or everyday Christians seeking to faithfully share Christ.
